samba - Jun 1999 - /etc/group

Does samba take advantage of the /etc/group file?  Reason I ask is that I
would like to share information between a group of people and make it
readable (ie. perms=0770) only to those people and the owner.  I have
tried quickly with a recent samba release (v2.0.2) and it did not seem to
work.

Comments?

I use this kind of setup on my samba 1.9.18p10 server and it works just
fine. In fact, all the unix file perms are enforced, just be sure that the
user(s) that are connect to the samba server are in the correct group,
etc on the unix box.

You need to use the valid users = @your_group @another_group @and_so_on
parameter.
