[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#424629: security upgrade broke permissions check

I'm afraid I don't really get all the needed information to properly
process this bug report.

Your complete smb.conf file would help as well as the permissions on
the offending directory and the users/group mapping (which users
belong to what group, at least for the groups involved i the problem
you describe)

Of course, providing a level 10 log file (hopefully restricted to that
directory) would help, in case you're in position of reproducing the
bug again (which may be hard on a production server).
