Setting Default Permissions for Files
Hi,
I am setting up an area on a unix server where multiple people will be editing web pages. Can anyone tell me how to set it up the directory and subdirectories so that when a user creates a new file, it defaults to permissions of 664 or 775?
I've tried using umask but from what I can tell, this only affects a specific user's account, not multiple user accounts.
Any ideas?

Hello, I would like to know if there was any way I can change the default permissions for new files being generated within a certain directory.
Would I need to have the same permissions set at the directory level as for the files being generated in it.

ypsetup
ypsetup(8yp) ypsetup(8yp)
Name
ypsetup - set up the yellow pages (YP) environment
Syntax
/usr/etc/ypsetup
Description
A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set up YP. You must know your system's default YP domain name and
whether your system will be a master server, slave server, or client. If your system is to be the master server for your YP domain, be
sure no other master has been established and be sure the files to be distributed are in the directory Note that the files to be distrib-
uted should be modified from the original files by removing the root entry in the file.
If your system is not to be the master server, be sure a master already exists for your YP domain. Once you know this information, run
with the system in multiuser mode and answer its questions.
Once YP is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is modified to contain YP entries on the desired database lines. The
command reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
