The users using this folder need to all have their umask set to 002 so that they give group write permission by default on files and directories they create. You should make sure this is set up appropriately in the systemwide login scripts, but be aware that users can override these settings. It would be nice to change various kinds of settings on a directory-by-directory basis, such as the umask and project-specific environment variables. I doubt this is doable in Linux, but I wonder whether GNU Hurd can do this with translators. --Ken -- Ken Bloom. PhD candidate. Linguistic Cognition Laboratory. Department of Computer Science.
