I have a particularly thorny problem I'm trying to solve, but I'll bet FreeBSD has a solution. I'm running a webserver using suphp. It's very picky about permissions. It wants the web server user (www) to be the owner of all directories and files. Meanwhile, the site owners want to be able to update and add files to the site. When they update files everything is fine. When they upload new files, the ownership of the file is user:user instead of www:user, so apache can't display them. Is there a way to "lock" a directory such that all files created in that directory are owned by the directory owner? If not, I'll have to script something to change perms after uploads.
