I have these permissions on a folder.
drwxr-sr-x 2 root sharedmaster 4096 2010-09-22 10:36 rantest99
I have user tony which is in the group sharedmaster. When I try to mkdir from tony it says permission denied. Why is that?
I have set the gid bit on directory so that new directory has group read write permissions. Where am I wrong.
Answer
In addition granting write access on the parent directory you almost certainly need to adjust the umask of the user which is probably set to filter away group/other write access.
You probably want to set a umask of 0002.
