RE: Adding files and user rights

[Teala Spitzbarth]

Set the 'setgid' bit on the directories in your repository. This will
mean that all new directories and 
files created will be created with ownership "userid": "project" 

See RH documentation for more info:

-usr-grps.html#S2-SYSADMIN-PRIV-GROUPS

Subject: Adding files and user rights


Hello again,

Thank you for answers to my previous question about modules and tags.
They 
were very helpful...

I have another one, I think should be simple but I don't know how people
are 
doing this:

I have a repository owned by user:project. Every user belongs to group 
"project" so he can access/modify files from the repository. When he
commits 
a file - the apropriate file in repository gains rights like 
"userlogin":project. But there are problems when user adds and commits a

file. The added file has the rights "username":"user-primary-group", so
it's 
unreadable by other users.

Of course there are solutions: users can do newgroup or sg to project,
or I 
can change the user primary group to "project". But all of the above 
solutions are unsatisfactory - there is always a possibility to force an

invalid group (on purpose, or by accident). Things are more complicated,

becouse we want to use repository by :ext: method, so it's not possible
to 
manually set the proper group - need to change .bashrc or something...

The question is: How can I enforce groups "project" on every added file.
Are 
there "callbacks scripts" launched when commiting files? Cvswrappers? 

thank you for you attention,
regards
Michal Kostrzewa
