i have this dev linux box that i'm using. from the web, i make it run a script that populates a directory.

after the directory gets populated, every file owner:group is set to apache:apache.

the problem here is that the user who's directory these files exist in can not modify the files.

i thought there was a way to set permissions on a directory, so any file recursively gets the same permission, .. but i'm not sure if there is a way to do this with keeping the owner:group the same. is there?
