How to Modify

GID inheritance

Determines how files receive their owning group when they are created. The following options are available:

  • linux (default). Each new file inherits its owning group from the group ID of the user who creates the file.

  • bsd. Each new file inherits its owning group from the group ID of the parent directory.

To change this default, either set it when creating a view policy using the viewpolicy create command, or change it using the viewpolicy modify command.
