[SOLVED] force folder to given group

i need all files (newly created or existing) within a folder and its subfolders to be in the same group by default, independent from users. i don't want to do this with a cronjob. is this possible? i found that umask might make this possible but i didn't found out how. can anyone help me?

Re: [SOLVED] force folder to given group

Edit: let's make this simpler:

$ chgrp mygroup myfolder
$ chmod 2755 myfolder

Will make any new file or directory under myfolder be assigned the group mygroup.
