I had a vague memory that setting the directory's suid or guid
bit would cause the file to take on the directory's ownership.
But I can't find the documentation for it. Anyway, I just
tried it and it works. This might solve your problem.
$ mkdir ed; ls -dFl ed
drwxr-xr-x 2 abrown users 1024 2006-08-27 17:17 ed/
$ sudo bash
# chown kedwardk.kedwardk ed
# chmod 2777 ed; ls -dFl ed
drwxrwsrwx 2 kedwardk kedwardk 1024 2006-08-27 17:17 ed/
$ touch ed/a; ls -Fl ed/.
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 abrown kedwardk 0 2006-08-27 17:19 a
That was for group. You should be able to get user forcing
if you want.

I've been having a problem with my Apache setup in that I'm not sure
what user I should run it under. The default is www-data, and I could
just add myself to the www-data group and be able to edit it under my
user (martin). The problem with that is that when I create files with my
normal user, they will be owned by martin and thus inaccessible to
Apache. I could just edit the files with the www-data user, but that is
annoying in terms of syncing together various files (.vimrc and such)
between /home/martin and /home/www-data.
I attempted to have Apache run under the user martin by adding the
following in my Apache config:
User martin
Group martin
but when I try to have a script create a directory, for example, it
returns "Permission Denied." This is Apache 2.0.55.
Does anybody have a good solution for this? For example, is there a way
to make all files created by me in /var/www owned by www-data instead?
Thanks all.
