a memo

Shared (group) read and write access to all contents of a directory

It's all here, in an excellent article on the subject, the gist of which is:

- everyone in the group must have umask 002 in their .bash_profile, or issue it as a command before working with shared files.

- the shared directory must be chmod g+s for the magic to work.
