question about SAMBA shared directory and file permissions

[Eric Heintzberger]

This is how I would do it, assuming I understand you correctly:

[wwwdev]
comment = Virtual Web Servers HTTP dirs
path = /usr/wwwdev
browseable = yes
# So that new files are created with 0664 mode --
force create mode = 0664
# So that new directories are created with 0775 mode --
force directory mode = 0775
force group = wwwdev
# Set this to yes (default) if you use the DOS archive bit for backups 
# Otherwise, set it to no to get rid of unintended executable bits 
# being set in non-executable files 
map archive = no
printable = no
public = no
valid users = @wwwdev
writable = yes

Also, reset all permissions and group ownerships in /usr/wwwdev to the
intended values.
