This is normally done by setting the umask to 002 instead of 022 for all users (in /etc/profile), and creating a separate primary group for every user with the same name as the user. Then all files and directories created by users will have 664 resp. 775 permissions. When creating files in "normal" directories, the files will have the "private" primary group of the user, and will therefore only be writable by the user. When creating files in directories with the SGID bit set, the group will be the same as the directory, and the file will be writable by all members of the group. This is the default strategy in RedHat distributions (or at least it was when I switched to Gentoo, around 9.0 or so). You might be able to get the same effect locally (i.e. only in your shared directory) by using POSIX ACLs. See 'man acl' for more info. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
