I have a BSD box running Samba server. I would like the samba (windows) user to have the same privileges on this box as one of the BSD users, but I need the Samba user to have a different username and password than the BSD user has. Both users are members of the same group and both can rwx any files that I explicitly chown to that group. But everytime something new is created in one of the Samba shares by the windows user, the BSD user can't touch it until a chown is issued. Same goes if the BSD user creates something in the shared dirs. How can I set it up so that forever and all time, anything created in the share by one of the users can automatically be rwx'ed by the other user WITHOUT having to go in every time and explicitly do a chown?
