Hey,
We have a similar setup here. I have all the users of a share in a
secondary group together.
chown whomever:sharegroup on the share directory
chmod 2770 on the share directory
Here is the relevant bit of my smb.conf
[IT]
comment = IT Test Share
path = /home/it
valid users = @it
force group = it
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
strict allocate = Yes
use sendfile = Yes
preserve case = No
hide special files = Yes
hide unreadable = Yes
browseable = No
fstype = FAT
wide links = No
For maintainability I would recommend reading up on the copy option of
smb.conf for shares. I have 20+ shares which are all setup identically
and have but one place to make changes to all of them.
As a side note for a shortcut I suspect you are looking for the valid
users option of smb.conf.
