Another approach would be to use NFS for MacOSX and see how that works.
NFS is more native to Linux Macintosh than CIFS.
It might not be easier and I like Ben's approach of forcing permissions a
bit better.
FWIW, I've converted a number of Windows 7 systems to using NFS instead of
CIFS to do
Resist the temptation to go mixed mode NFS/CIFS for your shares. Go all
one path as the permissions almost never map properly. I'd start with
what Ben recommended and look at the 'force directory mode' setting on
the server first. Making changes there will be a lot easier than
changing
And another reason to go with the 'force directory mode' setting on the
server is that some applications (like Fetch) are user-configurable so
users can be just smart enough to screw up file permissions after you've
explained (repeatedly) how the app needs to be configured. And those are
the same
If only you could understand how very applicable this is in this instance!

If you're going to set up another file sharing protocol just for
Mac OS X clients, why not go with Netatalk and support AFS?
