Silly question yet again ...
If I have a directory:
drwxrwxr-x support support .... ....
UserA is a mbr of support. When UserA creates something we get
-rwxr-xr-- UserA UserA .... ....
I would like it to remain "support support"
I read on the UMASK man page that a setting is subtracted from from the
mode. So in my example umask of 022 would be subtracted from 775 to give
753 (rwxr-x-wx), but I don't understand how I can make the "username
group" to remain the same.
Any pointers please!
Mike
