    Ext2/ext3 filesystems have built-in support for this behavior, but it's
    not turned on by default in debian. Remount your filesystems with the
    bsdgroups option. This is a lot cleaner than trying to maintain setgid
    bits on all your directories and messing with umasks, which aren't
    honored by all applications.

    See the manpage for mount for more details.

    cheers,
