Always set group write bit in given directory?

I know this is a FAQ, but Google just isn't helping me.

I know about umask. But I am not trying to get all files created by a user to be masked... I want all files or directories created in or anywhere under a given directory to always gave the group write bit set.

Look at "directory set group ID" section.

Thanks, but setgid sets ownership, not file permissions.

Sorry, misread your post.

Try this http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/trench/16940.html. It seems to indicate that you need to set the default ACL for the directory.
