  I disagree. How could a relogin mess something up? Rebooting requires stopping everything outside the session. It may also require unlocking the harddisk, waiting for the computer to boot, repopulating caches ... Requesting to reboot may also give some bad press - "Rebooting, is this Windows??? ROFL!!!"

  The standard is to retrieve the group from the directory. KSambaShare already fetches the directory name from the samba config (to add a watch), exposing the owner group is trivial.
