If I understood what you want:

A)
You can make it work using unix/samba, 1st way:
set up all the users in a unix group, say group1
chown root.group1 /path/top_shared_dir
chmod 2775 /path/top_shared_dir

set in smb.conf:
create mask = 0660
directory mode = 2770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 2770

B)
You can make it work using unix/samba, 2nd way:
set up all the users in a unix group, say group1

set in smb.conf:
force group = group1
create mask = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770

Is this what you want?
