I still don't think I am communicating. Let me try a specific example:
Yep, we weren't.
bruno is in cocoondev, but his primary group is ot. If he were to create files in /usr/serverlocal/gump, by default, I couldn't change them.
Indeed.
I'd like bruno's primary group to be cocoondev, or myself added to group ot. Or for bruno's primary group to be changed to something that you would feel comfortable adding me to.
... which, given the number of projects (-> groups) and possible interrelations in-between means I would be better off putting all users in one group (i.e. cocoondev).
On icarus/daedalus, each user has its own group as a primary group. I assume the problem lives there, too, and that they solved this using sticky bits?
