Hi there,

I seem to remember not too long ago seeing a reference to a command that
would set a flag of some directory so that any file created underneath
it would always have the same permissions and group as the parent
directory, as long as I belong to that group, but now I can't find it.
>From what I can tell, the sticky bit and the setuid bits don't do this,
but I could be wrong.

I've asked a couple people around here, and they say I must have been
dreaming.  Was I dreaming, or is this actually possible?

Thanks,

Todd
