The above document has very helpful information as to how the IFS deals
with authority.

I'm playing with HTTP server.  I have a directory \home\dave\html with one
file in it - welcome.html.  Currently, user profiles QTMHHTTP and QTMHHTP1
have *RWX data authorities and *ALL object authority.  This is so the HTTP
server will be able to chew on these files.

I then do a CPYTOSTMF to put a new html source file in the directory.  Only
user profile DAVE (my current signon) gets any authorities to this file.
Not QTMHHTTP nor QTMHHTP1.  So, I can't pull up the file using the http
server.  I need to do a CHGAUT on the file before HTTP server can chew on
it.

If I map a drive to \home\dave and create a new file from within Windows,
the new file adopts the authorities of the parent directory.

This seems like a pain in the ... neck.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is
there a way to get new files in the IFS created by CPYTOSTMF to adopt the
authority of the parent directory?   Or, do I have to specifically do a
CHGAUT on every file in the IFS directory?

Thanks, all...
