It doesn't matter who owns them, that's the advantage of using group
permissions. If they're group-writable any member of the group can write
to them, and the ownership will just be whoever created the file (I
think). When I migrated a server from NT4 to Linux+Samba I arbitrarily
set the ownerships to root:<group> for convenience, since I had just
copied them from one drive to another in explorer.
