[Samba] valid users and file permissions

[Mike Gallamore]

I believe you'd need to add a line:
write list = parents

write list = mum dad

I'm not sure if the top would work, anyone is samba group aware? The  
bottom should work but the problem would be if the members of the  
group were to change you'd have to change the smb.conf file too which  
isn't the cleanest solution.
