How do I set a different umask per directory?

  • 772

This is seems like it would be a very common configuration question, but I don't know how phrase it properly enough for Google to help.

I am using a server with NFS to serve up both home directories and a shared documents directory mounted as /opt/shared. When a user creates a file in his home directory, I'd like the default file mode to be 600. However, if he creates a file in /opt/shared, it should be set to 660. Is this even possible?

    I believe you are looking for a function that is included in bindfs. See link below for details.
