Domain Administrator

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!

RESOLV.CONF(5)							File Formats Manual						    RESOLV.CONF(5)

NAME

       resolv.conf - Domain Name System resolver configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/resolv.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  /etc/resolv.conf  is used to configure how the host will use the Domain Name System to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.  It may con-
       tain these two lines:

	      nameserver     IP-address
	      domain	     domain-name

       The nameserver entry tells the IP address of the host to use for DNS queries.  If it is set to 127.0.0.1 (which is the  default)  then  the
       local  name  daemon is used that may use the /etc/hosts database to translate host names.  You normally only need a nameserver entry if the
       name server is at the other side of a router.  The default nonamed name server can't look beyond the local network.

       The domain entry tells the default domain to use for unqualified hostnames.  This entry is usually not given in which case  the	domain	of
       the local host is used.

       The long version of this story can be found in resolver(5).

FILES

       /etc/resolv.conf    DNS resolver configuration file.
