Hi
You don't really need smb.conf to get group only entry.
Just have smb.conf with:
[share]
comment = Testing
path = /media/share
read only = No
chgrp My\ Group /media/share
chmod 0770 /media/share
chmod g+s /media/share
setfacl -d -Rm g::rw /media/share
Now, only members of My Group can get into the share, no matter what you
have in smb.conf. Once inside, any files created therein become group rw
for My Group members.
