Inherit Group File Permission

april · #1 (**permalink**) 04-28-2008

In our file system, the SGID for a directory is set right now. Any new files created in this directory will automatically be assigned the same group from the parent directory.

Is there a way to inherit the file permission from the parent directory as well? The OS is Solaris 2.8.

Example:
Parent directory is:
drwxrwsr-x 2 user1 group1 /dir1/happy

If I create a new file or directory, ie. camper, inside the happy directory, the group will be group1 regardless of my default group but I also want it to have the same file permission as happy.

-rwxrwsr-x 2 user2 group1 /dir1/happy/camper

Is it possible? If it is, how?

Please help.
Thanks.

It is not possible a uid from a directory. A new file will always have the uid of the process which created it.
