hi, per "default" a file is created with the permissions of the creator
in a samba share, with force user you can force the creator to be a
different user or group, this is helpfull in a few cases i.e
if youre using a smb share for apache ( user wwwrun etc ),
but use this parameter with care it can break your security and result
in miracle permissions behavior.
i recommend to read the samba faq, and man smb.conf
