Thanks.  Looking into the documentation of Linux's ACLs it seems that
they could do what I wanted by setting a "default ACL" for that
directory.  However, I ended up just mounting the samba share with
smbfs, which isn't pretty but it works without patching kernels and
possibly other software to support ACLs.
