Do you mean permissions, or ownership? The ownership is controlled thru
groups. Consider creating a 'samba users' group, and add the people who
are allowed to read/write those files into that group. (as well as in
their own group)
You can then set the users umask to something like 012, which will allow
read/write for owner and group.
To have the group ownership controlled on the file, use the sgid bit on
the directory, done with "chmod +s dirname". This will then keep the
group ownership of the directory, not the user.
Hope this is clear,
Dave
