"The standard behavior for new files and sub-directories is to ALWAYS receive the creator's GROUP" - RHCSA RHEL 8, A. Ghori, 1st edition. In the example of this tutorial, I do not understand why we enabled setgid for the directory SINCE all the system users created (aaronkilik, john, and ravi) belong to the same group (called "project") as the group of the parent directory "reports" (sudo chgrp -R project /var/www/reports/). I mean if the user aaronkilik or any other of the two users create a file or sub-directory in "reports", since the aaronkilik belongs to the group called "project", the file/sub-directory created receives the creator's group like stated in the first phase, that is the group "project". Why is it needed to enabled setgid for the "project" directory? Maybe there is a reason but I do not see it now. I could see the reason to enable setgid in case the three system users created belonged to different groups (in this case chmod -R 2777 /var/www/reports/ would be needed too). Thank you.

In reply to Aaron Kili.

In my case, i needed the shared folder were shared also with apache. I had to use “chmod -R 2775”. If I used “chmod -R 2770”, apache couldn’t access to the folders.

@Evi1

That’s correct, including the recursive option allows subdirectories to be get top directory permissions automatically. Many thanks for the heads up.
