The umask is what controls the permissions on created files, so if you can't change the umask, then you'll need to manually change the perms on the file.<br />
<br />
The only other control you have is by forcing group perms on a file by setting the GUID on the directory.<br />
<br />
For example if the directory /some/dir had owner of 'root' and group of 'users' and you set the GUID bit with<br />
<br />
chmod g+s /some/dir<br />
<br />
then so long as any user was in the 'users' group, the GUID bit would force all created files to have 'users' group.

The fileschanged is a linux application or command? &nbsp;I have never heard of this. &nbsp;I think this may be the best solution. &nbsp;Where can I get more info on this?<br />

Thanks

Is there a way to have default permissions on any file created in a directory. &nbsp;umask is by the user and I can't change that.<br />

Default directory and file permissions.
