[Samba] Set primary group of file on samba share from windows

[Hubert Kario]

Hi all!

I want to use 'acl group control' setting to delegate privileges to specific 
administrators.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to set the primary group using windows file 
permissions dialog, I can only add and remove ACL groups.

I tried to do this by removing all groups but one from Windows. This doesn't 
work: the primary group has all privs removed and the extra group is still in 
ACLs only.

Then I tried to set the file/directory owner to group from Windows, but this 
was met with a permission denied and a following log message:

[2012/01/05 21:13:03.349734,  3] smbd/nttrans.c:1899

  error packet at smbd/nttrans.c(1909) cmd=160 (SMBnttrans)

Is setting the primary group possible, or do I have to do it from shell?
