Depends on how you want to manage ownership when someone else modifies a file. > When a doc is created from any user it will get the permission -rwxrwxr-x > When some user opens the doc it is opened as read-only > Why ?????? You might want to say which OS you're using, what you mean by "doc", and what you're opening it with. A text file is a document, an OpenOffice.org file is a document, but an application's document might have more more complex ownership issues. I've tried something similar on FC4 (a sharing directory [*] for all users also in the "users" group, writing a file as myself, changing group ownership to "users", modifying it as another user), and it appeared to work fine. * drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Aug 11 22:16 sharing -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
