As far as the file sharing, if you are using samba, maybe just tweaking the smb.conf file will fix the permissions problem. have a look at: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html probably 'force create mode' or it's synonyms will help or are the problem if set incorrectly now.
