Hi! Here is an example from one of my Samba machines; [foo] comment = Foo Directories path = /var/foo browseable = yes writeable = yes write list = @samba @adm create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0474 directory security mask = 0777 inherit permissions = yes max connections = 10 hide dot files = no guest ok = no force user = foo force group = fooIn this example, do you see the force user and force group entries above? Whenever someone creates a file under this share, it always is owned by user:group foo:foo.
And, by including this group for each user, I can permit them access to perhaps read or write files, or have any access at all.
I would recomend that you read the smb.conf man page again. There are a lot of options in there, but be patient. After you have read it all, try again.

Hello, this isn't only Debian related, and perhaps it isn't even Samba relatet (but directory), but I#M quite new to this all. I'm running a Samba Server (from Debian stable). Now I want files that users create with Windows clients in the Samba directories to have another group than the primary group of the user. (For Debian creates a group for each user as primary group and there are multiple users who access the same data these file have to have a common group) How can I achieve this? Is there something like create group (like create mask)? I read the manpage, but I didn't find anything.
