* I find that I need to share files with family members all the time. Dito in return. If someone forgets to explicitly set group ownership and permissions on a file (daddy, what's that anyway?), the others can't read it. Ok it's a basic *ix problem for the computer scientists. However, family doesn't care, they Just Want It To Work(TM). Are there solutions? This case must be pretty common. No I don't count "stick it on a stick, because it has M$oft semantics ie no owners or permissions" as a solution.
