* create group
$ groupadd developers
* open /etc/groups and append usernames a and b to
group developers
* remember that the users a and b should logout and
login again to update their group information.
You can check it with the "groups" command
* chgrp all files recursively in required directory to developers
$ chgrp -R developers devel_dir
* chmod recursively all files in required directory
$ find devel_dir -type f -exec chmod 0664 {} \;
* chmod all existing directories to setgid so that new directories
and files created will have appropriate permissions
$ find devel_dir -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
