File Permissions / Ownership

[macian]

What i am attempting to do is set the permissions on a folder so that any files created in that folder take on the same ownership as said folder.

Thanks in advance

chmod g+s works for the group, but will anything work for the owner. Also so that the file in the folder takes on the same permissions as that folder.

iirc, using the suid bit on a directory will cause everything created within said directory to be owned by the user that owns the directory. Try chmod u+s (I think that's right, I always use the numbers anyway, in which case it would be 4###

chmod u+s does not work for user. 4*** is for something else at this time i can not remember. Tried that already... thanks for the help though..

Have you looked through the NHF's?

thanks... but read my post's...

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be a smart a$$, but would the set group id not work? I may be way off here (in which case I get to learn something).

i apologize.... far too often i get answer that say RTFM for things i've read time and time again....


i have a php script that allows for uploading pics via a web intervace. when the pics are upload they have this


-rwxr-xr-x apache apache

Yeah... chmod g+s makes the group ownership for the folder recursive.


drwxrwsr-x me somegroup is the folder, which is cool... When apache makes a file in that directory it makes the file

-rwxr-s-r-x apache somegroup which is also somewhat cool because the group is correct, but i still can't really do **** with the file because the group permissions are not writable.

what i need is apache to make the files either

-rwxr-sr-x me somegroup OR
-rwxrwsr-x apache somegroup

see what im sayin?
