This is normally done by setting the umask to 002 instead of 022 for all |
| 7 |
users (in /etc/profile), and creating a separate primary group for every |
| 8 |
user with the same name as the user. Then all files and directories |
| 9 |
created by users will have 664 resp. 775 permissions. When creating |
| 10 |
files in "normal" directories, the files will have the "private" primary |
| 11 |
group of the user, and will therefore only be writable by the user. When |
| 12 |
creating files in directories with the SGID bit set, the group will be |
| 13 |
the same as the directory, and the file will be writable by all members |
| 14 |
of the group. |

This is the default strategy in RedHat distributions (or at least it was |
| 17 |
when I switched to Gentoo, around 9.0 or so). |

You might be able to get the same effect locally (i.e. only in your |
| 20 |
shared directory) by using POSIX ACLs. See 'man acl' for more info. |
