I am trying to create a shareable directory, where all newly created files will have group rwx permissions assigned.
I followed the example found at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/lpi-101-intermediate-p3.xml#doc_chap3_sect19 and preformed the following steps: mkdir /home/share chgrp users /home/share chmod g+s /home/share however, when user1 preforms 'echo hello > ./hello.txt' from within share the file has the following permissions: drwxrwsr-- 8 root users 4096 Oct 16 20:53 . -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 users 6 Oct 16 20:53 hello.txt and user2 is not able to modify this new created file. I know that I can execute a umask every time the users log in to insure that all new created files will have the correct premissions, but is this really the correct what to handle this problem? Can anyone point me in the write direction? Thanks for the help. Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
