Hi Is there any way to enforce the permissions on a specific directory so that everything that is in it will always have the correct permissions?
I know a simple cron job can do the job but I have fucked up more file and directory permissions than wanted on more than one occasion this way. And also, it would be nice to know that any files moved to a certain directory (like public_html) will get the correct permissions instantly without having to issue a chmod command or wait for the cron job to finish. I used to have a partition with the FAT32 filesystems, which allows you to set global values for user id, group id and permissions (with uid, gid, umask, dmask and fmask). Then, all files moved to this filesystem would get the specified permissions automatically. A while ago I switched to XFS because I needed to be able to have files larger than 2 Gb, and XFS doesn't have these features.
