Hi there,

What I'm trying to accomplish is
	- to have a group of users called 'developers'
	- read/write access to all files created by any member of that
group

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.
