Hm .. suiddir makes files inherits the perms AND owner/group from the parent dir. This is kinda evil as it essentially is a hardwired file giveaway, which is a BSD no-no. You should just set the dir group-writable and add all the user's to the parent dir's group. I suppose if you *really*really* want the owner to propagate, then use suiddir. Of course, unless you hack Samba the suid bit won't get set on subdirectories.
