"umask 002" for Samba ?

Hello,
I have a directory (let's call it devel) that I want all the files and 
directories under it to have 775 permission (readable and writable by owner 
and group), so that I can just assign people under a group to have read/write 
access to anything under that directory. So I set up the directory, chmod 775 
it, and "chmod g+s devel". 

Files and directory created under "devel" with linux commandline have the 
correct permissions (I put umask 002 in .bashrc to be explicit). Group has 
read/write access to files/dirs. 

"devel" is also a samba shares, and people map it from their win machines. 
This is where problem happens. When directory are created under 'devel' via 
Samba, the permission is wrong. Group no longer has write access. The same fo 
files. Any idea how I fix this ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
