Hi Chris, useradd always sets ownership to the new dirs & files to the new user. It sounds like you may want to look at sgid to set the default group ownership so group members can all access all files. You should man chmod & look for sgid for more info. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
