Rocque) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc,comp.unix.admin Subject: Default permissions within dir. Date: 9 Nov 1995 18:34:41 GMT Organization: Channel 1 Communications Lines: 16 Message-ID: <47thk2$b4o@news1.channel1.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: user1.channel1.com Keywords: Chmod, SGID, SUID X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:8335 comp.unix.admin:34593 I am trying to set up a directory so that the permission is the same for every new file, regardless of the user's umask setting. This situation is analogous to chmod g+s /path/dir where dir is a directory. Every file in the directory dir will have the same group, no matter what user created the file. I want the same type of thing but for permissions on files in a dir. I know one solution is to write a script to chmod the files individually, but I do not want to do that. I also would like to avoid having the user chmod the file after creating a new one. Some users will undoubtedly forget to do this. Thanks, Kevin kevin@channel1.us1.com
