samba - Jul 2009 - Inherit groups

Hey guys, samba seems to have a share level "inherit owner" option to
propagate the ownership of the current folder to any new files/folders
created directly under it. Is there an equivalent command to do this at the
group level? I know you can do it using the SUID/SGID bits but I'm worried
about the security risk that comes with doing it this way.

Thanks for the help,
Nick

No, we've historically depended on the mode bits
to do this - setting the set-group-ID bit on
a directory shouldn't have any security implications,
it's a tried and true UNIX technique.
