[Samba] Switching to another Samba server

"force user" and "force group" just might solve my problem... If for
only one final question...
Can I set the "hosts allow" and "hosts deny" options on a specific
share? Or are they only global? I currently have hosts allow set to
every machine on the subnet in Global. Can I add to that in the
specific share? That way I can force the user and group on that
specific share, and only allow access to it from that one computer.

If you set the SUID/SGID flag on the directory permissions then Unix
will ensure that all files created will be owned by the user and group
set on the directory. That solves your access problem.
If you like, on the samba share definition you can add "force user =
WWW", and "force group = WWW", and that will ensure that all remote
users will be the correct user for this share. That way you do not need
to even bother with setting permission from an MS Windows box.
There are other ways you could do this, but enough for now.
