Sounds like you need to set UMASK in the LOGIN paragraph. I keep things pretty simple myself. I keep all users in one group. I keep the home directory in the main account and everyone shares the same UMASK. The only things I lock up is the BP files, dictionaries and paragraphs in the VOC. I do that by pointing all paragraphs to a PROD.VOC which only I can touch. Anthony

This didn't use to be problem, as all programs in BP were set to 666, but now that we have implemented a minimal level of security, the BP programs are set to 664 with owner and group typically set to user:uv (the programming staff has membership in the uv group). What happens is that after user XXX edits a program, since the owner:group gets changed to XXX:XXX no one else can update that program until either XXX or someone as root chowns the file back to the uv group. This happens with all editors: ED, WED, etc. Is there a Universe setting or user setting that will prevent changing the owner and group setting on a file after editing it? (UV 10.1.4, RHEL 3).
