Well, those three smb.conf settings that Matt suggested should take care
of it nicely.
create mode = 0660
This one forces all files that anyone saves to that share to be mode 660.
This means read and write permissions for the owner, read and write for
the group, and nothing for anyone else.
directory mode = 0770
This one forces all directories that anyone creates in that share to be
mode 770. This is similar to the above--the owner and all members of the
group can work with the subdirectories, but anyone outside of the group
can't.
force group = <groupname>
This forces all files and subdirectories which users create in the share
to be associated with the specified group.
Give Matt's suggestions a try--I think you'll find they'll help.
