-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi all, How can I force all files and directories under a directory to be owned by the owner and group of the directory? That is, suppose /a is owned by joe:users, then if a file /a/temp is created, it will be owned by joe:users, even if I'm not joe when I create the file. I'd also like to be able to have the permissions of files ANDed against the parent directory's permissions. I.e. if /a has rwxrwx--- then, /a/temp should be rw-r----- after creating it (if I have a umask of 022) instead of rw-r--r--. I'd also like to do this selectively, i.e. only for certain directories, not as a system-wide thing on all directories. Can I do this without resorting to a cron job that resets all the permissions and ownerships every so often? Thanks. - --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc No wanna work.
