[NTLUG:Discuss] Permissions, Permissions, Permissions

Some time ago I configured my Linux box as follows:

Created group, g.  Added users to group g.

Created a directory, /o, whose group was g and had permissions
drwxrws---  ( chmod 2770)

When a member of g created a sudirectory of /o it belonged to the
creating user, was in group g and had permissions drwxrws---, and so on
down the tree.  Files created under /o or any of its subdirectories by a
member of g were owned by the creating user, belonged to g and had the
permissions -rw-rw----.

Had to replace the computer and cannot reconfigure /o the way I had
it!  :(

I seem to remember that I had to change certain configuration files but
I can't remember which ones nor how I changed them.  I have Goggled this
problem, worked on it for 3 days - all to no avail, and need help quick.

So I come to you on bended knee meekly begging you to share your wisdom,
knowledge, and experience with me.

Thanks,

Bobby Sanders
