samba - Oct 2001 - using %g or %G in an include

I have three include statements in my main smb.conf file. 
I am operating Samba 2.2.2 on Redhat 7.1

as an example they would look as so:

include = /home/smb.%G.conf
include = /home/smb.%m.conf
include = /home/smb.%U.conf

I use the smb.%G.conf the most. 

When I used Samba 2.1.7 %G on Redhat 7.0 it worked fine. 

Currently %G or %g does not work when incooporated in an include. 

when I change the destination of the include from 
(example) smb.groupname.conf   TO   smb.%G.conf  it then works.. 
however this, of course, negates the whole use of the %G. 

am I missing something?  why does this not work?

the %m works still, as does the %U. 


thanks

Jeff Hampson

Assuming you mean 2.0.7 :-)

Assuming you meant to reverse these.

I'll take a

These are handled by a call to standard_sub_basic()
while %[gG] is handled by standard_sub_advanced().
I'll look into it.

Does this problem in the new 2.2.7a? For some reason I not able to do the 
include with %g nor %G, but it works find for %m.
