hi viket, methinks all users created will have a common group say portal... thus change the group ownership to portal and give 1775 permission to the directory say share, # chgrp portal share/ # chmod 1775 share/ the permission will be something like below, drwxrwxr-t 2 root portal ... share in this case users with group portal will be able to create files and directories under the directory share with their ownership and with the sticky bit on the parent directory, no users will be allowed to play around with other users files and directories (given their umask is set to 022).
