That should do it, as it will force connections to authenticate as
justin/family.
Alternate way would be to use smbpasswd like Derek mentioned.

Ah, yes, I guess that's what the following lines mean:
force user = nobody
force group = nogroup
If I change those to
force user = justin
force group = family
Should it work? Or is that a bad idea for some reason?

I haven't played with SAMBA for awhile now. However (if I remember
correctly) windows machines will connect as "nobody/nogroup" or the
like, causing them only to be granted your world permissions.
There are certain ways to pass the authentication/username through,
but you'd have to google that. If you chmod to 777 I'd imagine the
issue resolves itself, or you can look into doing something with
winbind or the like.
Personally I'd scrap samba and just use NFS
echo "/your/file/path [your_network](rw)" >> /etc/exports
service nfs start
service portmap start
Done.

No, the permissions are set in the directories themselves - as I
mentioned it works fine if you come in via SSH (If I log in via her
U/N I can rename/move/delete files no problem). The problem seems
to be specifically with Samba's handling of permissions.

Are you trying to apply the permssions on the symlinks themselves?
Double check to see that you're applying the permissions you want
to the original files/folders.
Hope that helps.. though it sounds like you know more about this
topic than I.

This is probably extremely simple; I'm just not getting it.
I have a linux fileserver at home, and I've set up my home
directory as a samba share so my wife can get at my music and
pictures that I keep there, and mapped it as a drive letter on her
machine. I've symlinked a few other folders into my home
directory (other family member's home directories, etc) so that
she can get to them all in one place – as far as she's concerned
it's just 'J:/bobs_stuff' even though it's really more complicated
than that.
She can browse those folders fine, but does not have write
privileges. I've got all the folders set to 775 – and all of the
users are in the 'family' group, so it should work (it works via
SSH). She has write access in my home directory – the 'root' as
it shows up on her end. I have writable = on and createmask = 777
in smb.conf, so I don't know why it's not being passed to the
linked directories.
Any suggestions on how I can get it to work?
