<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">I have been wr<font size="-1">estling
with how to create a shared folder for a project <font
size="-1">team.<br>
<br>
So far, I have a folder with the group set to a special
group created for the team users, and I set the folder's
Group ID bit to that special group. All the team <font
size="-1">users <font size="-1">have</font> the special
group <font size="-1">assigned to them as a secondary
group<font size="-1">, and the user umasks are 002 so
that files and folders they create are w<font
size="-1">ritable by the g<font size="-1">roup as
well as the owner.</font></font></font></font></font></font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1">This works well for any new files and folders
create<font size="-1">d in the shared folder, but fails for
file<font size="-1">s and folders created el<font size="-1">s<font
size="-1">ewher<font size="-1">e</font> and then
*moved* into the shared folder. <font size="-1">Those
ret<font size="-1">ain </font></font></font></font></font></font></font>their
original <font size="-1">group<font size="-1"> --</font> the p<font
size="-1">rimar<font size="-1">y</font> group of the owner<font
size="-1"> -- and cannot be edited by other members of the
group.<br>
<br>
<font size="-1">I have seen write-ups of people using ACLs
to <font size="-1">deal with s<font size="-1">ystem<font
size="-1">s</font> where the user umasks are 022,
but I don't need it for that purpose here.<br>
<br>
<font size="-1">I have also <font size="-1">seen
one claim where <font size="-1">an ACL setup <font
size="-1">(the same setup referred to
above?) solves the problem of files/folders
<font size="-1">that are moved into the
shared folder.</font></font></font></font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1">Can someone say <font size="-1">more
about this?</font></font><br>
