Permissions

[Steven Schmidt]

All the gramene project directories have group gramene and permissions
g+s
so that files created in them will also have group gramene.

All gramene files should be group readable and writeable.

Please make sure you keep this true:

Your umask should be 002, not 022  (since the default group is your
own private one, this does not open anything up)
Put  umask 002 in your
.cshrc file  (csh or tcsh users)
.bash_profile  file (bash users)
.profile   file    (ksh users)
This is probably correct on swiss and chevre, and probably needs to be
fixed
on brie and brie2.

If you copy files to a gramene directory using cp -p
then they will keep their original group.  So you must
chgrp gramene ...  before or after copying.

Some directories used by web servers for temporary files may have
group nobody instead of gramene, but we would rarely copy anything
to these.
