'foo' and in the group 'bar' with permissions of 664/775 no matter
who creates the file/directory?
You can't do anything about the owner of the new files/directories,
it'll be whoever created them. However, you can propagate the group
ownership by setting the parent directory g+s, as in "chmod g+s bar" or
"chmod 2775 bar".
The file mode will not propagate to newly created files/directories,
it'll be determined by the umask of the creator.

Is there a way to set the umask for directories created different from
the umask of files created? If I make a user's umask 113, both files
and directories created by that user will have rw-rw-r, which is great
for files, but sucks for directories.
Doh, nevermind. umask 002
Please only throw small fruits and veggies at me. ;)
