Kevin, doesn't really answer the original question, but if there are specific groups (rather than all other users) that need these permissions, you could get around this using setfacl to set up a file default extended ACL on the directory. Then any files created in that directory will pick up that ACL.
Example: mkdir dir1 setfacl -m f:g:group1:rwx,f:g:group2:rwx dir1 will give groups group1 and group2 read,write and execute permissions to any files created in dir1. RACF class FSEC needs to be enabled for this to work. -Matthew. Klein, Kevin wrote: > I'm not sure where all the "she" stuff is coming from.
