New samba shares are created with an underscore at the beginning of the share name

Hi.

I am supposing this is should be classified as a bug.

When you create a group samba share ("share"), it is created as "_share". I think this would cause much confusion amongst less computer savvy users, especially those from the MSWindows world. I myself find it rather annoying, and more so when I have to explain it to my wife. :)

The problem line is in the smb.conf.mas stub file, line 97: [_<% $group->{'sharename'} %>] Remove the underscore and you get [<% $group->{'sharename'} %>] which gives you a properly named share.
