Currently I am using Samba with ACL control. My problem is that if I add or remove users from a group, those changes are not reflected for samba access until I restart the samba server.

Example of what I mean.
GroupA and GroupB....USER is part of no group.
Unix: I give GroupA full access to FOLDER
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get permission denied.
Unix: I add USER to GroupA
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get permission denied!!!!!
Unix: I restart Samba server
Windows: as USER I try and access FOLDER I get full access.

This is definitely not going to work for me. I created an web application that gives me full control over samba and unix users so I can manage user/group permissions for all files and directories in my fileserver. If i have to restart the samba server every time I change somebodies group this is going to be chaos where I work. Adding users to files/folders works fine, its just when I add users to groups that Samba doesn't recognize that users new group until I restart.

anyone have any idea how I can solve this issue? is this a Samba parameter that I need to make sure Samba konws when users move around to different groups?

Thanks
-Ray
