Hi, I need to use mandatory file locking on Linux to prevent users downloading a file that is still being uploaded. To enable the mandatory locking, the sgid bit must be set at file creation (note: this is not related to sgid on directories). I realise this is not possible with umask, but was wondering if there was a configuration option or patch available to support this requirement?
