[Samba] Force User -

Hello,
I am using Samba shares as a way for my users to publish files from their
Windows XP PC's to my Apache Web Server on Red Hat Linux.

The username I use for Apache is apache and it has full read,write and
execute access on all the files within my webserver root directory.  In the
Samba Shares I use force user = apache so this means that any files created
using the share actually get apache as the owner.  However, this actually
gives the person who connects using the samba share the power of the user
apache which means they can change anything.  I dont want this.  I just want
to set it so that the owner of any files created by using the samba share is
set as apache.  I do not want people to have the power of apache!  Is this
possible?

Or does anyone know a better way of publishing to the apache webserver?
PLease help, thanks
