oops! typo... This is what it should be: Most likely you'll have to make sure that the directory /home/everyone is accessable to the group everyone (chgrp everyone /home/everyone). > The next step is to make it writeable to "everyone" : chmod 2770 everyone/ oops again! :( "chmod 2770 /home/everyone/" is the correct answer... > The "2" makes sure that all files and directories created in the directory > /home/everyone are set to the group everyone (otherwise they would be set > to the file-creators group and thus not writeable to other users). > > The last step is to change the default umask to 002 instead of 022 so all > files will have the permissions set correctly (-rw-rw-r-- instead of > -rw-r--r--).
