For user joe, set Joe's umask to 0007 in ~/joe/.bashrc Make group, "grp" cd /home/joe mkdir testdir chown joe:grp testdir chmod 2770 tesdir ls -l yields drwxrws--- joe grp testdir cd testdir Use, vi, nano, emacs, touch whatever to create testfile. ls -l yields just what you want, i.e -rw-rw---- joe grp testfile Now open OOo2, create testfile2.odt and save to testdir. ls -l yields just what you _don't_ want, i.e. -rw-r--r-- joe grp testdir Ughh - terrible. Using terminal command line mkdir testdir2. ls -l yields just what you want, i.e drwxrws--- joe grp testdir2 Now use OOo2 to create another directory, say testdir2, under testdir ls -l yields just what you _don't_ want, i.e. drwxr-sr-x. So Ugly! As I mentioned, I don't think OOo1 exhibited this bizarre behavior, but hope I don't have to go back to OOo1 to get what I want. Sure hope there is simple answer and it is just some dumb mistake that I am making. Thanks in advance.
