Re: Maintaining group ownership of new files
Ext2/ext3 filesystems have built-in support for this behavior, but it's
not turned on by default in debian. Remount your filesystems with the
bsdgroups option. This is a lot cleaner than trying to maintain setgid
bits on all your directories and messing with umasks, which aren't
honored by all applications.
See the manpage for mount for more details.
