Hello, I've got apache running on a centos 5.6 machine. All of my users have a umask of 077 set in /etc/bashrc. I'm now wanting to give several of them permission to write to a web area so they can place content visible to the web server. I've got two groups webdev1 and webdev2 which I want one to be able to write to site1 and the other to site2. I've got between 3 and 5 users in each group. I'd prefer not to mess with these users umask settings, but want the correct permissions and ownerships user:webdev1 or user:webdev2 where user is the username of the person who placed the file. Permissions I believe should be 664 so apache can read the files.
I'm wondering if I need to look in to ACLS which I've not used or if there's another solution?
Thanks. Dave.
It seams obvious... add the apache user to both webdev1 and webdev2 groups and you are done... no need to change umasks and perms :)
