Hopefully someone can help....

here is our setup:

1 domain controller running win2k3 enterprise - this does all the authentication on the domain.

10 win xp proffesional machines all joined to the domain - 10 users - 2 user groups.

10 mac g5s running panther 10.3, these machines use admit mac to bind to the windows network to allow secondary drives to be shared- and info moved between windows and mac machines.

4 smoke Irix boxes - these are used for importing and exporting video projects between the macs and themselves.
these connect by IP binding.


Problem:

We have just implemented a new NAS fileserver running Red Hat 9 and samba.
We have created a volume on the system for sharing.
Basically what we need is for all XP users of 1 of the groups, plus all mac users and the irix smokes to be able to read/write and execute any file placed into the shared drive - from any other machine.

So..eg. - Windows XP machine ALpha places a photoshop file into the folder "PICS" - mac 1 then imports a copy of the file without any permission issues.
MAc 1 can then change that file and replace it with an updated version.

Or. Smoke 1 exports a smoke setup file to the folder "Smoke_setups" on the linux box, and then Smoke 2 imports the file and is able to read/write and execute the file


What i need to know is how does it need to be set up on the linux file server to allow for this to happen?
