On Linux, you also should set each directory to be setgid.  That's
because by default, Linux uses the user's current group ID as the group
to create new directories.  However, you'll want the group to be
inherited from the parent directory, which is the behaviour when the
parent directory is setgid.

This behaviour is the default on the BSDs, and no such configuration is
required there.
