This seems like it should be simple enough, yet it's not working that way. Here's essentially what I want to do: Lets say I have a directory called mydirectory. The permissions are as follows: drwxrwxr-x root mygroup If a user who is part of mygroup, say myuser, creates a new file within mydirectory, the permissions of the file end up being: -rw-r--r-- myuser myuser What I want, is a way to force the default permissions for new files in this directory to be: -rw-rw-r-- myuser mygroup This is meant to be a shared directory with shared files. Unfortunately, while it's easy enough to create a shared directory, creating shared files in it by default doesn't seem to be nearly as easy. I set up a shared directory for myself and my roommates to use, but they are very lazy about resetting the permissions on files they add, so I end up being unable to modify them (without going in as root). It would be really nice to be able to automatically set the permissions to the correct values whenever they create a file. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred. You can get my public key from any of the pgp.net keyservers.
