Yeah, the non-numerical chmod is much easier to understand,
so it'd be something like
chmod g+srw dirName
(add read/write/sticky for group)
and to get all files already in there I think you'd want to
chmod -R g+rw dirName
(recursively make dir & things in it, readable & writable for group)
The group affected is the current group owning the file; it should stay even
if that group name changes. Beware, if you're using a more complex access
control system, like say the NSA code bundled with Fedora & some others, it
will be a very different story, but not necessarily harder -- for those I'd
recommend a nice front-end utility to help it make sense & get the right
answer :)
Google is for those without enough time, eh? The LUG is here for the rest
of us.
HA, j/k.

Entering the above sentence into google returned this page as the first
hit:
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html
search for "groupID" on that page to get the relevant bits.
:D
