Is it possible to avoid umask 0002?
- by Anatoly
Is it possible to give an automatic ability to modify files(folders and all recursively) created by one user to another within one specified folder (let's say "shared") on the basis of both users belonging to the same secondary group (let's say "coworkers")?
I've tried to achieve this by using ACL but with no success. Seems that umask wipes out corresponding bits....
I'm on FreeBSD 8.1 (but seems this problem is actual for other *NIX systems).
Googling this problem (people often refer to it as "umask per directory" problem) gives
the most relevant link: http://old.nabble.com/ACLs,-umask-and-shared-directories-td27820947.html
that is not very promising...
Want to ask ServerFault community - is it possible at all?
