Hi Ken
I have already set the gid and it does its job. The trouble is that when a user saves a file to the shared directory the rest of the group doesn't have write permissions. and of a lesser importance, "others" have read access. I know that i can reset it manually but I was looking for a better solution.

Is that right? Look at the set uid and gid bit on the directory itself. I use this to force a group of files created in certain directories. -- Ken Foskey FOSS developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html Regards Phill O'Flynn -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
