samba - Aug 2010 - Samba - GID on files created in a directory

I recently upgraded to Samba 3.0.37 (not the most current but when running
2.0.x it was a big step.)

 

However I now have an issue I just can't seem to fix, being entirely
possible I stared at it for a week without seeing it.

 

The old version used to inherent the GID from the parent directory.   I can
honestly say I have no idea how I configured that to work but it was seven
years ago and the documentation I now has says that is not strictly
possible.

 

In reading the O Reilly and the on line documentation I see how to force a
GID, however my share in question supports way to much stuff to set one GID,
I really need it to inherit the GID from the parent.

 

Would someone point me in the correct direction here.

maybe i don't completely understand, but wouldnt you just do a `chmod g+s
parent_dir` so everything created in the 'parent_dir` inherited its GID?
