hi!

We are using linux and fam on our fileservers, all users are members of the group "staff". The problem is that when somebody creates a file it autmatically gets the
permission "-rw-r--r-- ", then when other users wants to make changes to the
file its not possible ("r--"). This is not a linux admin discussion list, I know.

So to solve this I had an idea of setting up fam to monitor all files and do this
whenever something is created, this will be based on some rules.
(this sounds really weired but I have not found other ways to do this)

Whats the best way to monitor a filesystem, scan the whole fs at startup for
directories? and then use fam? Im almost sure somebody will point out a
completely different solution on this problem!

Is this a good way or is there other way of doing this?

All feedback is welcome!

Thanks!

-- Mike
