directory you want. If security is an issue then I doubt you would want this. At this point I kinda think your stuck with having each user set permissions as they create files/directories. Even when a user makes a copy permissions will be set according to the umask, and that user, or root, will have to reset permissions for group access. In a GUI such as KFM this quick and painless. I

To avoid this mess, one could do this: - Create an own private group for every user, e. g. I'm user sttr and my group is sttr, as well. - Change everyone's umask to 007. - Create a group for all users who will have access to a shared directory, say sharegrp. - Create that shared directory, let's call it sharedir, and do a chgrp sharegrp sharedir chmod 2770 sharedir Now all files/directories created in sharedir will automatically be accessible to the members of sharegrp.
