The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by winshuttle in Linux Setup, Ubuntu, Linux Network Security
I am setting up an Ubuntu 8.1 linux server for use as a webserver. Our web developers have been copying files over via sftp and I have run into an annoying problem that doesn't come up with windows. When a user uploads a new file to a directory, the new file inherits it's owner and group from the process that created it (i.e. the user) instead of the parent directory. I have already set up the permissions for the directories to allow the devs to do their work but they aren't able to make changes to files uploaded by other devs because of this. I tried setting the default behavior in a test directory so that new files inherited the group settings of the parent directory using chmod g+s test_directory but all that did was to cause the new files to inherit the group, none of the parent directory permissions were inherited. It was closer but still not what I am aiming for.
Is there a way to set the directory permissions such that a new file created in a directory inherits the permissions of the parent?
