Automatically set permissions of new files created within a specific folder

How would I go about automatically setting all newly created files in a specific folder to root:users with 775 permissions?

Cheers.

You can always modify /etc/fstab and set umask=002 and the gid={id of users}, which would result 775 files you want.

I have never tried it with any file system other than VFAT, which does work, but if I recall correctly, when trying to put those same parameters into the fstab on a ext3 file system, it refused to mount.

Something like this:

Code:

/dev/hda2 /media/share vfat auto,users,exec,umask=000, gid=46 0 0

Hope it helps

Well not the best solution, but it worked, cheers.

Made a new FAT32 5GB partition and mounted it with:

Code:

/dev/hda3 /mnt/share vfat uid=0,gid=100,umask=002 0 0
