That's my understanding, too. In fact, that is what happens - the
sub-directories my family can create do have the 'photo' group; this
is what I want. However, the files they put in the created
sub-directory only allow them access. eg In a directory created by
trinity:
drwxr-sr-x 2 trinity photo 1392 2006-01-28 08:23 2006-01-15
there are files that have these permissions.
-rwx------ 1 trinity trinity 409387 2006-01-26 17:38 PICT0871.JPG
What I would like to happen for files that are put in this
sub-directory is that the group for these files is 'photo' so that
people in this group have access to those files.

OK, I'll check ACLs out.
