I believe in the past I've accomplished this via a umask of 002, but I don't recall where I put that to have it automatically assigned to all users in a certain group? Also, I've stumbled on the whole login.conf stuff, which seems to speak to 'classes' of users? I've never used user classes, is this a better way to set this? Preferably, I don't want to have to set the GUID on every folder the group is jointly working on. I'd rather have all files group readable/writeable by default. Are there any reasons not to do this? Many thanks in advance, phillip.
