I'm glad you worked it out ;)

Ownership doesn't change just by creating files. Ownership of a file
is set to the user that creates that file, no matter where the file
is. Obviously, root can change file ownership ... so treat him well ;)

In any case, try it out yourself. Create the files and see what happens ;)

Samba is a different story (but related), you can create masks, set
default permissions, ...

I usually recommend O'Reilley's Samba book because it starts off with
a very simple config and then complicates it little by little.
