If so, I believe you would want to add a line like this: force directory mode = 0770 You would want to add this to your smb.conf file (found in /etc/samba on my system). Then you would probably need to restart Samba by doing something like this: /etc/init.d/smb restart -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
