OK I feel guilty for being a smarty pants. set the gid bit on the directory and all files created in that directory will have the group ownership st to that of the directory. chmod g+s f3 if f3 is owned by grp g3 then all members of g3 will beable to access the files unless there is somthing funky with the umask. I believe that by default normalusers have thier umask set to 0002 so it should not be a problem.
