bad permissions in ibays
« on: July 25, 2000, 08:14:47 PM »
1) admin created an ibay called 'it'
--group: it_g
--write=group, read=group
--local network access

2) From w98, user1 (of group it_g)  created a new directory and a new file in the 'it' ibay

3) From w98, user2 in the same group tried to copy the newly created file and received the following error message
  'cannot copy file: Access is denied'

4) From login on e-smith server, root observed the the newly created file and directory had ownership as
   owner =  user1
   group  = user1

Problem:  I believe e-smith should have created file and directory ownerships as follows:
   owner = user1
   group = it_g

Is there any known solution?
