[LUNI] Suggestions for setting up a Samba server

Hi,

I need to setup a Samba server, to house my mortgage files.  

Here's the situation, I have loan officers who create "point" files that
need to be 770 for owner:manager (where "owner" is the loan officer).

Then there are files that accompany "point" files, I call "loan
packages" which need the same as above.

Lastly there are "corporate" files that need to be read-only for the
loan officers but writable by the manager(s).

I want to setup the Samba, so that the creater of the file is always the
owner (even if the manager edits the file).

I was thinking something along the lines of:

/FCM
	point					FCM:manager
770
		file1				user1:manager	770
		file2				user2:manager	770

	loan packages
		file1				user1:manager	770
		file2				user2:manager	770

	corporate
		point_templates		FCM:manager		775
		excel				FCM:manager
775


/home
	user1
		FCM	->	/FCM
		# the rest of the files here would be private to the
user

All this ownership and permissions need to be maintained by Samba. But I
don't know if this is possible.  Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jay
