Hi there - I've tried to read up on this but have got myself confused (doesn't take a lot) so hopefully someone here will help explain to a newbie.
I have a folder - let's call it authors that is in /var
I have a group called authors that I have several members in, and I want all of them to have full access to the contents of /var/authors and to be able to add, edit and delete anything, but NOT the actual /var/authors folder itself.
I want new folders within /var/authors to have the permission 775 and new files to have 644, and anything created to be owned by the relevant user, and by the group "authors".
I'm confused where I go with umasks and permissions to achieve this.
Any help / talk through appreciated!
thanks
