I want Group Write on a Share

When the world was young, Eric_Songer at urscorp.com carved some runes 
like this:

Then the group (that the desired users belong to under Solaris) 
must own the directory tree that you're exporting as a samba share 
(make sure it's not owned by root).  Depending on whether or not 
you set the sticky bit on the directory, you can have group 
read/write access, or group write (where only the file owner can 
modify).

You forgot the equals sign (as in "create mode = 0775).  Feel like 
Homer yet? (Doh!  :-p)
