To set the default permissions use umask. I think each user will have to put the following line in their .profile or .bash_profile or whatever they have in order to get the default permissions you want: umask 002 I don't know of a way to set this for all the members of a certain group other than to have each of them modify their own environment themselves, short of some tricky stuff in the global /etc/bashrc or something like that.
