I have created a shared directory on /home, where all users on a certain group have read, write and execute permissions.
I did this using
The problem is, when a particular user creates a directory within /home/shared, other users are not able to write to that directory. Is there a way to set the permissions such that all users within the group have full permissions in that directory?

Hello,
If I understand correctly, you can use umask option here, as for giving permissions like 755,
we can use command like umask 002 so permissions will be set by the inverse of the umask value. When creating files. We can use setfacl option also but that is for
giving a specific user a specific permissions. Kindly try it in a non live environment and let me know if this helps.
EDIT: Adding an example I have given umask 002 and then I have created a test directory as follows.
mkdir test1234
It's permissions will be 755 as follows.
Thanks,
R. Singh

By means of umask 002 the users can run only a limited set of applications. But a desktop (Gnome, KDE) and a Internet browser require a unique (per user) home directory.
And you have now set it up so that no user on your system has any private files; every file that they create in any directory on your system will be readable and writeable by every other user in the same group. Fortunately, I use the Korn shell instead of bash, so this wouldn't affect me.
Before you modified everybody'a .bashrc, did you at least warn them that they need to undo what you did or manually chmod every file that they create in any other directory?
Did you consider just asking users in this group to chmod files they create under this shared directory.
Did you consider writing a set-UID application that would allow users in that group to change the mode of any file under that directory (AND ONLY under that direcotry) to something any user in the group could use (and send a note to the offending file's creator and that person's supervisor) when it was needed?
At any company I've ever worked for, what you did would be a fireable offense. Please reconsider this action.

Hi
I want to know which profile will be called when a user without home directory is created.
When I created a user without home directory(by setting in /etc/default/useradd), the user is able to login directly into the main "/" folder but with only read permissions.
