chgrp after creating a file

yull · 01-30-2006, 08:42 AM

Hi all,

I'd like to do a chgrp on a file each time I create a new one in a home dir.

for instance, if user user_a creates a file un /home/user_b (the 2 users belong to the same group 'users' and the group has rwx access on /home/user_b), the file created belongs to user_a:user_a.

I want them to belong to the group to wich belongs user_a and user_b.
I mean: user_a:users

How can I do this automatically?

Am I clear? I'm no sure..:-/

any ideas?

thanks

Make the folder owned by the group 'users' and set the setgid bit on the folder (chmod g+s foldername) and it should maintain this, IIRC.
