I was just meaning that since the samba docs don't mention things like
facls, setgid bits etc, this implies that the primary_unix_group setting
should 'just work' to set group ownership , and I shouldn't need to do
anything else 'special'. So yes, no doc changes needed!

I've changed the permissions to be 775 on /home/alice (with group still
g_alice) but it still creates files group owned 'domain user'.

Thanks,
