[Samba] limit access to folder without mapping a new drive

[Nulty, Helen P]

We do this using msdfs root.

Make /files an msdfs root.
Create separate shares at the same level as /files for the folders that need to be restricted.
Place msdfs links to those shares under departments/.

The way I prefer to do this is to set proper posix acls.
