[Samba] New files and directories

[Robert Adkins]

Dimitrios,

	Thank you thank you thank you!

	That answer worked perfectly! It's odd that I hadn't come across the   
chmod g+s command previously. I had spent some time learning the   
permissions on a UNIX system. I never recall seeing that option.

	Again, thanks for the assistance!

Regards,

Hi there,
the usual solution that i enforce is (for your case):
# cd /share/purchasing
# chgrp -R emergpo emergpo
# chmod g+s emergpo

This will result to the group ownership to be propagated to every
directory/file created
