That is something I need to fix, because I do have some issues with
group accessed files, where certain operations require me to log in

some users can no longer access the files. Any pointers on where to
find documentation on this?
Newly created files default to having the group ownership of the
primary group of the user creating it, and the RH scheme is to give
every user his own group. You can do something like this in the samba
share configuration:
valid users = @groupname
force group = groupname
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
How about if I just change the primary user group to being the user
group that I want their files' group ownership set to? Would that "just
take care of it" on the group side? Then I could just set the "force
create mode" and "force directory mode".
Yes, that works if you only have one group that needs shared access or
at least no one in overlapping groups. You do lose the ability to share
your own stuff to members you add to your own group.
This is one of the reasons I usually install k12ltsp instead of the
stock centos distribution (you don't lose anything, it just adds some
extras and makes the updates yummable). You probably can grab the RPM
directly from the webmin site.
Can I just add a k12ltsp repo and use their webmin?
That should work.
