I have a simple/stupid question regarding permissions. What I would like is the following: I have a directory called group_dir that I would like all members of a group to be able to work in. However, I find that whenever someone creates a file in that directory, it is not set group writable. I know the user's umask setting affects this, but I don't want to change that - then ALL their files would come out group writable. Basically, I want all files in group_dir to be readable and writable by group members by default, including newly created files. Is there a way to do this? I thought up a kludge to use cron to periodically run chmod -R... but that is so ugly I don't really want to do it that way. Thanks for your assistance, Paul D. Lathrop
