Public Directories

I set up a public directory that does what was originally requested.  It uses the dirmonitor python script that someone linked to earlier in this thread.

I had to remove the sticky bit, because it makes it so that nobody can rename or delete files once they are created (the dirmonitor changes the owner no noone/nogroup, so the sticky  bit is more annoying than it is worth in this case.)

the end result is that /home/share is public read/write no matter who creates files, no matter what permissions they use.  It is actually a pretty nice setup, I think I will make a howto in the wiki for it.
