We have a situation where we have several users who 
belong to multiple primary groups creating files in a 
single directory.  They all need to access the files, but 
currently only people from their primary group can get to 
them.

Everyone is also a member of one other group as a 
secondary group, so I would like to force all the files 
to be owned by that group when they are created.

Is there a way of doing this automatically (ie. just at 
creation without having to do chgrp)?

Please respond to mzander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (it is a 
direct route to me, not through any other mail gateways)

TIA!!!!
