Is it possible to define, that when I create files in a specific

Make the directory sgid, with "chmod g+s dirname"
Great, this was what I was looking for.
Be careful with one thing: If you move a file into that directory,
it keeps its group and does not change it during the move. If you
copy it, the directory's group is taken, though. (That's because a
move (in a filesystem) does not create a new file, but only a new
directory entry; whereas a copy really creates a new file.)
