The following sequence works for me. What if anything do you see different from what you're doing? As root: -------- useradd user1 useradd user2 mkdir database chmod 775 database chgrp dbuser database chmod g+s database ll -d database drwxrwsr-x 2 root dbuser 4096 Aug 14 12:12 database groupadd dbuser usermod -G dbuser user1 usermod -G dbuser user2 logout as root ------------------------ login as user1: ---------- umask 0002 cd database echo hello > test.txt --------------------- login as user2 : ----------- umask 0002 cd database echo there >> test.txt cat test.txt hello there ll test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 dbuser 1266 Aug 14 12:28 test.txt -------------- Regards, Mike Klinke -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
