[Samba] Samba and Linux users

Hi,

I have 2 clients that have expressed an interest in switching some users to Linux
workstations as a test to see if they can avoid paying some of the Micro$oft tax.
They will be sharing Word and Excel data.  I'll be installing OpenOffice to begin
with.  Maybe they might be interested in Gnumeric later.

My question is how to tell either Linux or Samba or both to allow any user to
create/change/delete any document in a shared directory?  I think, in Samba, it's:
[Share]
   create mask = 0766
   directory mask = 0766

In Linux?  Would it be /etc/profiles?
This whole area is new for me.

Thanks
