The recent thread on file permissions reminded me I was going to ask my
permissions question....

I have setup a Samba share to my root HTML folder for Apache.  I need to
transfer files/folders into there from my window's PC, but when I do, the
owner/group of the created folders/files is the username I used to access
the Samba share.  This means that the public can't view the web pages I'm
putting in there.  If I manually change the owner/group of the files/folders
to the Apache group, things work as expected (i.e. I can view the pages in
my browser).

Is there anyway to configure Samba to ALWAYS create new folders/files with a
given owner/group?  I've tried using Swat and Webmin, and have set the
security masks, but am seeing no difference.

Suggestions?  

Thanks in advance.

Shawn
