I want all files created or copied to a directory become rw for all group members.
I have a directory e.g. chmod g+rws /home/dropbox
gives me: d-wxrws--x 2 root suseusers 4096 Feb 14 20:16 dropbox
However, if a user in the suseusers group copies or creates a file there it is: -rw-r--r-- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 14 20:23 hola
but I want it: -rw-rw---- 1 steve6 suseusers 0 Feb 14 20:23 hola
Can it be done?
Back in the '80's on Xenix I discovered how to avoid the need to have a directory need non-default permissions: # /etc/profile.local umask 002 It's what I still do. Why distros expected to be used mostly as single user and/or mini LAN hosts don't set the default umask to 002 I don't understand. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
