I have a directory where many users have write access and often the permissions on the directory changes. Is there a tool that lets me monitor the files for changes and enforce a specific file permission or any other way I can enforce this when users have write permission.

I think that if set the permissions for the group, instead of the user, it should work.

Have a look in the chmod man page

You can also set the group of the directory by using chgrp.

You can look in the Wiki for this command

Hope this helps

  • I know this, but I'm looking for something that can enforce the variables when it's on the user.

    One easy thing and fast thing, depending on your needs, maybe you can create a script that runs from time to time and sets the permissions for all the sub directories and files.
