    1. You probably do not want the files to be 777, It would be much
    better that they be 664. World executable and writeable files are a big
    security risk.

    2. As far as I know, there is no way to have every user _create_ files
    that are read/write for everyone else unless the umask allows that.

    You can set everyones umask to be 002, and make everyone a member of the
    chosen group (users may be a good group choice). Then every file they
    create would be readable and writeable by other members of the same
    group as well as readable by all users but not writeable by those not
    members of the group.

    If you insist on having the permissions set in a specific folder for
    everything to be 777 (or 666) or whatever, you could simply put in an
    entry in /etc/crontab like this:
         * * * * * chmod -R 777 path/to/folder/
    That command would be executed once every minute and would change
    anything not already having the 777 permissions to be 777 for that
    folder and everything in it.

    This seems a big security problem to me.
