[NTLUG:Discuss] force group ownership

[MadHat]

linuxconf is usually considered bad by most (even RedHat who developed
it has dropped it as of 7.2)...

check the man page or here
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html

Specifically here for the 'map to guest'
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#MAPTOGUEST

Also check things like SWAT and others (there are a lot of admin tools,
by Gnome and KDE and others) if you need a GUI.
