This will solved in three steps:
1. chown the base dir of the share for correct group,
chown .engr /path/to/share/engr
2. Change modus of dir with
chmod 2777 /path/to/share/engr
3. Add din smb.conf to specific share:
[engr]
valid users = @engr
force group = engr
# dir mode
directory mask = 0770
force directory mode = 2000
# file mode
create mask = 0770
force create mode = 2000
The first two steps setup the correct unix behaviour, and on top of that samba
are force to use this defs (group, create masks).
