OK, then if Linux is the server, again roughly the same as I described except
tweaked for the  Samba standards. For the Samba share in question, something
like these couple of lines should do the trick...

   read only = yes
   write list = root
   create mask = 0666
   directory mask = 0777

Which would allow others access to the files root puts there, and through the
share level security it would be read only to them. Should you ever care to
allow them to write, you would not have to go back and chmod the files, simply
change the read only flag. Else, you could change the create mask to be more
secure as well... lots of options!
