A problem that has plagued me for a long time
(finally decided to get some expert help) is setting the owner/group on
directories/files I create with samba.* Here is my situation:
On my Linux/Apache I have a user, smith.* The /home/smith directory is
owned by smith and is part of the group, todd (me) with permissions
775.
This works fine until I create via samba a directory in smith e.g.
/home/smith/test.* The directory is owned by todd and smith cannot
create a file in it.
What have I missed and how do I fix it?

P.S. My admin expertise is just moderate since my Linux server just
runs and runs without much administration needed.

Todd,
You did not provide a copy of your smb.conf
you may want to check
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0664
in the global section or in the particular [homes] section as you see
fit.
another way is to use the sticky bit under unix file permissions
ie
chmod g+s /home/smith

The samples do not list every possible option -- just the common ones.
There is lots of good configuration info in the man page. Here is a web
version:
