[ale] Simple group workarea

[Brad Dixon]

Hello,

I have three people (noah, brad, ryan) in a group named web that need to
all have access to the web pages contained in /home/web/public_html. We
don't need RCS type software now, but if that'll help with this, I'll do
it.

This is what I tried:

chgrp -R web /home/web/public_html
chmod -R g+rw /home/web/public_html
ln -s /home/web/public_html /home/brad/web_html

Now when logged in as brad, I can modify a file named test.txt owned by
web.web. When I save it, however, the ownership and group switch over to
brad.brad. Naturally, when ryan attempts to edit test.txt, he is denied. 

In short, I am looking for a way to ensure that whenever a user edits a
file in this linked directory, it is saved with web.web ownership. I have
to keep the ownership web.web to satisfy SAMBA users, who use this
directory under that ownership.

Any other ideas?

Brad
