[Samba] Win2K, Unix, Mac OS via Samba and Helios

Situation: one unix fileserver with shares that need to be fully accessible
(read, write, execute) by both Macs and PCs.

Implementation: Unix fileserver uses (and has used for a couple of years)
Helios to manage Mac accounts. Recently installed Samba to manage PC
accounts. PC can connect to Unix via Samba.

Problem: If Mac user creates a folder or moves a file to a share, Helios
creates a hidden .rsrc folder and everything is fine and dandy on both Macs
and PCs. Not an issue. BUT, if a PC user creates a folder or moves a file,
Mac users cannot read the file or write to the folder.

Samba help doc. doesn't seem to cover this kind of situation, so has anyone
on this list ever been in this predicament? How did you setup the smb.conf
file so that the share was readable/writable by everyone in the PC world but
still fully accessible by everyone in the Mac world?

HELP!

Robert
