Hi Robert, You need to set your users umask for example to 007 which will mean that files they create have full permissions for group. you've already changed the directory so that all files created in it have the same group which is proper. When users create files outside of that directory they will be created with the users private group thus security is not compromised. I suspect you're not using RedHat 9 but for it, the umask is set in /etc/bashrc and is 002 which would work properly for you.
