Too logical. :-p

I know how to do that. What I meant was a way to prevent any files from
ever existing there with any status other than rw-rw-r--. IOW, when some
user with a umask of 022 copies his rw-r--r-- file from somewhere else
to this directory, the copy should automatically and instantly acquire
rw-rw-r-- by virtue of its placement there.

Same as previous, automatically always one and only one owner and group
for every file placed in the particular location.

These functions are apparently possible for nfs shares via the export
options all_squash,anonuid=###,anongid=###, so they ought to be possible
for all local users as well.
