Thanks but,

Each time a user creates a file in my public directory the permissions on
the file do not allow any other users to access the file. I have the rights
of the folder set to allow all valid user and group read write and execute
permissions. When I look at the new rights on the file a created by a user,
it is set to owner has the only rights to the file. I have to run chmod
each time a new file is created so other users in that group can use the
file. That's a real pain. What can be done to ease my pains.

Barry.

        In a terminal type...

        man chmod

        ...read and be enlightened. When you're done type a 'q' to exit,
then type...

        man chown

        ...repeat above.
