Thread: Register a group alerting when substituted through scp.

Hello,
on my Fedora try computer, there is a webdav grouping for all developers and the files under /var/www are owned by athapascan:webdev. Each developer is set up per normal, with each deed his/her own substance in /etc/group, then I add them to the webdev group (all from the enjoin contrast). Things seemed OK, but when I edited a enter as me the different day and updated it via scp, the ownership and grouping exchanged to that of my person, preventing a position dev from updating it afterward. How can I neaten trustworthy that the record relic editable by all in the webdev unit disregarding of who updates it? Since it's a try computer, the permissions are fairly coarse at 775.
Thanks,

What you desire to do is a combining of things. Original, make sure all existing files/dirs individual the reverse control: Code: chgrp -R webdev /var/www Next, work trusty all the files are a group writable: Code: conceive /var/www -type f -exec chmod 664 \; Now, set the group id bit on all the directories under /var/www and neaten them radical writable at the unvarying time: Encipher: find /var/www -type d -exec chmod 2775 \; The final thing to do is either have everyone modify their umask in the ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc line (recommended) or occurrence the international umask in /etc/profile (not the first melody). They both effect the equal target, but having people do this themselves makes them a young solon informed of what it does. In the someone's ~/.brawl(rc|_profile) file, set the umask to all activity by gather by choice by adding this line: code: umask 002
