samba - Dec 2001 - Controlling Owners and Groups for Files

I've successfully configured Samba to give the filer permissions that I
want, but it is still not giving the required performance with users and
groups.

The problem is that when a new file is created it defaults the File Group to
the default group of the user, not necessarily the groups which has access
to the files. Is there any way to get round this?

See "force group" in smb.conf(5)
