I created a directory '/home/shared' to use for a shared nfs/samba mount point. (/home is the only partition I have large enough for the shared area, plus I can back up the shared directory along with home directories by simply backing up /home.) I changed the group ownership to 'shared' and assigned the appropriate members to the 'shared' group, and issued a 'chmod 770 /home/shared' to allow the 'shared' group full access to the folder.
At first the members of the shared group could access the directory fine, however after a while the folder was no longer accessible and I noticed that the permissions had reverted back to '700'. The directory was accessible again but the permissions reverted back to '700' shortly thereafter. What could be causing the permissions to change on their own? I am running Mandrake 8.2 and I set the security level to 'high' during installation. Thanks in advance.
