[SLUG] Permissions

Let's say that Joe and Bob want to be able to work on some website files
on a central server. They'll be working from their own workstations, but
the files with be on the server (local). Joe has an NFS connection to
the server, and Bob is running Windows, so his connection is through
Samba running on the server.

So they want to edit these files. All the files have a group of "web",
and Joe and Bob are part of the "web" group on the server. (Joe is also
part of the "web" group on his workstation, but since Bob's running
Windows, he has no "group" on his box.) How can permissions be set on
the server directory so that when Joe saves his file edits to that
directory, Bob can immediately pick up the file and also edit it?
