Also worth noting, if using a native filesystem (EXT2/3, XFS, etc) you can inherit user or group ownership by setting set-gid on the parent directory. (Looks like SUID and SGID options have been removed/hidden in file properties in GNOME.) Let's say that I want all users, by default, to be able to modify all new files written to the Library directory. I'd set-gid "users" on the Library directory like this: $ chgrp users Library $ chmod g+s Library Which results in these permissions: $ ls -l drwxrwsr-x 40 someuser users 2048 Dec 19 22:55 Library Now lets make a new directory and file in Library and see what happens: $ mkdir Library/Test $ touch Library/Testfile Notice that the group permissions have been inherited from Library: $ ls -l Library drwxrwsr-x 6 someuser users 2048 Dec 20 18:49 Test -rw-rw-r-- 1 someuser users 0 Dec 21 14:10 Testfile What if I don't want some other group to own Testfile? $ chgrp someuser Library/Testfile $ ls -l Library drwxrwsr-x 6 someuser users 2048 Dec 20 18:49 Test -rw-rw-r-- 1 someuser someuser 0 Dec 21 14:10 Testfile -- David Norris http://www.webaugur.com/dave/ ICQ - 412039
