I think you need to look again and perhaps do some tests. What I described is exactly how /usr/local is set up. I don't know what you are doing wrong, but without you explaining exactly what you are doing, no-one can really help you. Let me demonstrate: $ touch /tmp/testfile $ ls -l /tmp/testfile -rw-rw-r-- 1 camh camh 0 2009-10-17 09:24 /tmp/testfile $ mkdir /tmp/shared $ chgrp staff /tmp/shared $ chmod g+s /tmp/shared $ ls -ld /tmp/shared drwxrwsr-x 2 camh staff 4096 2009-10-17 09:25 /tmp/shared $ cp /tmp/testfile /tmp/shared $ ls -l /tmp/shared/testfile -rw-rw-r-- 1 camh staff 0 2009-10-17 09:26 /tmp/shared/testfile Notice how the file /tmp/shared/testfile now has group "staff" where it originally had "camh"? Are you copying files into a directory nested underneath the top-level shared directory? You need all your directories under your top-level directory to be set up the same way. That is, the actual directory you are putting files into needs to be set-group-id - higher levels in the hierarchy do not matter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
