Well. You can use setgid for that. In case you don't know what it is,
i'd explain that.

Directory: /export/share/secret
Owner: foobar
Group: hhaynes

Now you set to the directory chmod 2770 /export/share/secret, this means
the directory has now the setgid flag.
This means, that all new files created in this directory will be owned
by the group hhaynes. The same thing with setuid, except that the owner
will be the current user of the setuid directory. I hope it's easy to
understand. Of course you can set both flags (setuid, setgid) on a
directory.

What's the difference between chattr and chmod?
man chattr > 1; man chmod > 2; diff -u 1 2 | less
