How to set default permissions?
Hi everybody. I set the permission for one folder this way. "chmod -R a=rwx myfolder" and now I would like that every file or folder that is created in "myfolder" automaticly inherits permissions from "myfolder". Is it possible to do that? I am using suse 10.2. Thanx for help.

As far as I know, any file created will be owned by the user who created it and be accessible for all users from his group for reading. I do not know of any way of changing this default, which of course does not mean there are no such ways

If you want to grant all permissions to any file:
chmod 777 <filename>

You need to look up umask. Each user can set default permissions for thenselves.
