Basically, we have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server file server set up on our 
network.  Each department has it's own group set up and each user can be in 
one or more department.  Each department has its own folder set up on the 
file server.  So, for instance, our billing department can only access the 
billing folder, but not the Systems folder, whereas the Systems department 
(where I work, has access to the Systems folder and every other folder).  
There are also departments that overlap, too.  For example, our networking 
department's folder is shared by Systems and Networking, but no one else.

I know with Windows 2000, I can assign multiple groups to each user; what I 
want to do here is be able to do the same thing with Samba -- both with and 
without MySQL-based authentication.
