Hi,

Can you please remind me how to set chown so that it automatically applies itself to all files in a directory as they are added / created?

Is there a direct option or must I periodically run a cron job?

No. The owner is always the user who creates the file. However, you can make the group sticky, if you set the sgid bit in the parent directory (chmod g+s DIRNAME). []'s Marcelo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The specific answer is cron. But, you may be able to accomplish your underlying goal with ACLs (access control lists). I co-wrote a basic howto a couple years ago that may help you understand the power of ACLs In particular read section 6 and see if that relates to your need. http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_share_directories_between_groups_of_users_usin...
