Hello,
I have the following problem which I hope someone can help. Suppose I have 
users: a,b,c,d,...,z.

User  a,b,c,d,e,f,g is member of group "cooluser"

The other users are member of the default group (which in RH is the group with 
the same name of the username).

I want user d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l  only to be able to share stuff in a directory, 
so I create a new group: sausage (using "groupadd" command), and put those 
user as a member of the group sausage. 

I created directory /home/sausage and change the owner to root.sausage with 
complete access to the group

$> chown -R root.sausage /home/sausage
$> chmod -R 775 /home/sausage

Now, the problem is, if user d put a file in the /home/sausage, the ownership 
of the file is d.cooluser instead of d.sausage, 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sausage]# ls -lah
total 16k
drwxrwxr-x    2 root     sausage     4.0k Sep 25 11:01 .
drwxr-xr-x   46 root     root         4.0k Sep 25 10:59 ..
-rw-r--r--    1   d   cooluser        6.6k Sep 25 11:01 KlugGlosT.DOC


thus the other member of sausage which are not member of cooluser can't write 
to the file. What do I need to do so that the default ownership and 
permission in the directory sausage is root.sausage and rwx for the group?

Thanks in advance for any help
RDB
