If you are working among a group of users then you should set your umask to be 02 instead of 022. That is probably the point where you diverged from common practice and started to have these problems with mkdir. Have you looked at the any of the User Private Group documentation yet? If not then please do so. Good stuff there. > mkdir -pm775 project/subproject > and I'd like both project and project/subproject to be group-writable. If you set your umask to be 02 then you no longer need to explicitly set the mode bits to ug=rwx,o=rx anymore. Bob
