LUG: Forced inheritance of permissions - Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:38:07 -0400

Subject : LUG: Forced inheritance of permissions

From : "Daniel Underwood" <daniel.underwood@ncsu.[redacted]>

Here's the setup. There is a folder /shared/project1. This folder has
the following permissions:

drwxrwx--- root project1

Certain users will be members of group project1. Other users will not.
The folder /shared/project1 is intended to be shared folder where users
in group project1 can store/edit files.

The problem is that when a user in group project1 uploades a file, that
file assumes the following permissions:

-rw-r--r-- user1 user1

This means that a different user (e.g., user2) in group project1 can
access this file, but cannot modify/delete it.

How can I force the group permissions rwx and group ownership on all
files/folders created in the folder /shared/project1?

Thanks in advance!
Daniel
