samba - May 2003 - Files and directories created by WinXP client are read-only

My WinXP client creates files and directories that are writable only by the 
file owner, not by the group to which that user belongs. There must be 
something all-too-obvious that I am overlooking here, but I'll be darned if
I
can find it. The files and directories can be read just fine, but I can't 
write to them.

Clues? Help? Commiseration?

Thanks,
Jay

You'll need to use "create mask" parameter:
http://ftp.easynet.be/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#CREATEMASK
Setting this to 0775 will enable rwx access for users belonging to the same
group.
