[Samba] File permission for group

[Michael G. Noble]

I the users home on UNIX/Linux .bashrc/.cshrc/.profile... (depending
on the users shell), you can set the env variable umask to be 002.
This will cause all files/directories created to give full permission
to the user and group and will mask out the write bit for other.
If you want the files/directories to be wide open the set the umask to
000.  To remove write from group and other you can use a umask of
022.  For more information on umask, read the man page.

This way you have UNIX/LINUX setting the permissions which is how
they are read in the first place.
