> The share shows the normal unix behavior: New files get the owner and the
standart group (the one in /etc/passwd) of the user. If you do a "chmod g+s
project_direktory", the files will get the group of the directory. In
smb.conf you should set a suitable umask and must set "inheret permissions =
yes" for the s-bit (the "g+s") to work (at least in my 2.0.7). This should
do what you want.

the unix side and I do not recommend to use the "force user" paramter in
smb.conf, exept you realy need it and you know what you are doing.

the other start-up-files of the shell.)
