Howdie, fellow Debianites! I have a shared directory on my system; what I'd like to achieve is making every newly created (or copied from elsewhere) file belong to the group owner "users". In short, I have been trying to replicate the behaviour of the /usr/local directory. Let me explain: if I copy a file (any file from anywhere) with Nautilus or Gnome-Commander to /usr/local, the original file owner group gets changed to "staff" automagically. I'm trying to make my /home/shared dir behave the same way. I've tried playing with chmod and chown, I've even cloned the directory permissions (with 'chmod --reference=/usr/local') to my / home/shared directory, but that didn't help. Is this behaviour implemented via file permissions at all, or via some system-wide setting or what?
