Dear Friends,
In Linux is there a way in which new files or folders created in a directory will inherit the directory's owner and group with the same permissions too? The new files or folders are currently getting created with the user and group of the user who created them. I want all the new data to have user:group and permissions of the parent directory.
Linux won't allow a non-root user to change file ownerships, as this could expose you to security/quota holes. In this case, its the process owner creating those files that counts and not the directory permissions.
I concur with Pritam.
