/etc/group and umask
__________________________
An easy way to solve this is to add the users who will share these files to the group that it application user is a member of.
If the default group is oracle, then make all the users a member of the group oracle in /etc/group...
IF you want everyone to have permissions in the poppa dir, give them a secondary group of momma in /etc/group.
Also, make sure the group rights are such that users can read/write files in the specified dir.
___________________________
Umask can be modified in the .profile of the specified user. It i will give the opposite of what you set the umask to for new files and dirs created by that user...
If you set "umask 022" then the new file parms will be 644. Note that you cannot give executable permissions with umask. It will not do it even if you give umask 000...
Set umask 006, this will give you 660 for new file creation.
