Suggest you refer to the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf for SAmba-3.0.0.
A curent copy is available from:
	http://samba.org/~jht/HOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Suggest you read chapter 13, "File, Directory and Share Access Controls".

You should also read, Chapter 12, "Group Mapping: MS Windows and UNIX"
