samba - Jun 1999 - Force group on create of a file.

Howdy,

Is it psoible to use a force group on creation of a file or directory only?

I want to use this to make a more efficient use of unic permissions.
If I use 'Force Group' then I cannot use the 'other' permission
rights anymore in unix.

I use a debian distribution (2.1) with Samba version 1.9.18p10-7

Any ideas?

A combination of force group and force create mode would do this nicely
for you I think, ie force the group to whatever it is you want, then add
a "force mode XX4" to give everyone else read access (or XX5 if you
want
them to be able to enter directories also).
