I used to have a Cobalt RaQ4 server that allows the server administrator to set up site administrators for each domain. The site administrators can add more users to that domain, and he can also write files to the users' directories.

I now have a RedHat 9.0 box running Linux 2.4.20 with Apache 2.0. I'd like to be able to do the same site administrative things on this server.

I logged on to both servers via SSH and did

Code:

ls -al

The Cobalt told me the users directory and all the users inside have the permissions 2775 (drwxrwsr-x). After making my users directory on the RH have the same permissions, I was able to write files to the users directories! Woohoo!

So now my question is, how do I set up Apache to create user directories with these permissions by default so that I don't have to go through the entire server and change each directory, and manually change each user we add to each domain.

Sorry this post is so long, I just want to give you as much info as possible so you know exactly what is going on. If it helps, I'm using Plesk 6 to manage the domains and users.

Thanks!
