    This seems like it should be simple enough, yet it's not working that
    way. Here's essentially what I want to do:

    Lets say I have a directory called mydirectory. The permissions are as
    follows:

    drwxrwxr-x root mygroup

    If a user who is part of mygroup, say myuser, creates a new file within
    mydirectory, the permissions of the file end up being:

    -rw-r--r-- myuser myuser

    What I want, is a way to force the default permissions for new files in
    this directory to be:

    -rw-rw-r-- myuser mygroup

    This is meant to be a shared directory with shared files. Unfortunately,
    while it's easy enough to create a shared directory, creating shared
    files in it by default doesn't seem to be nearly as easy. I set up a
    shared directory for myself and my roommates to use, but they are very
    lazy about resetting the permissions on files they add, so I end up
    being unable to modify them (without going in as root). It would be
    really nice to be able to automatically set the permissions to the
    correct values whenever they create a file. Any help is greatly
    appreciated.
