Jon,
I am assuming samba.... If you have a file that needs to be shared you need to
put all of the users in one unix group and then tell samba to force a group on
the dir with this samba syntax:
create mask = 0660
directory mask = 0770
force group = unixGroup
That will force every file to be group writable with the right group set.
Hope that helps,
schu
