Have a look at the package libpam-umask. I haven't used it, but it looks like what you want. It hooks into PAM, so that when users are authenticated for login, their umask is set to what you want. > > Some words about my server filesystem: I have some directories (teachers, > > classA, classB, etc) in my /export directory, which are only readable and > > writable by the groups with the same name.

Files created in a directory with the set-group-id bit set will take the group from the parent directory. Clive Menzies replied... > > For existing directories: $ chmod -R 775 should do the trick bad idea. That will change all files to mode 775 as well. You only want directories. Plus you want the directories to have a mode of 2775 (or 2770 depending on permissions for others). To prepare a directory hierarchy for group use, I do the following: # chgrp -R $group $dir # find $dir -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 2770 (I usually use mode 2775, but I think you wanted 2770 from your description) # find $dir -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 660 (likewise, I usually use mode 664...) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
