Hi,
My question is how to best manage ownership/permission on an external
disk drive.
I'm using an external drive with different PCs, and/or different
accounts and groups. I would like that all files created or modified on
any PC/account is readable AND modifiable from any other PC/account
(files created from Windows apps or cygwin (e.g. emacs, latex,...)).
For the moment, the default ownership is typically 644 (-rw-r--r--) and
therefore not modifiable from an other PC/account (from an other PC the
ownership and group are displayed as ???????? ???????? ).
Up to now, I manually modify permission or ownership, but I would very
much appreciate an automatic procedure. for example such that all files
created (from Windows AND cygwin) are 666. Note that I can not change
the name of the different accounts I'm using on different PCs.
Olivier
