Also more "BSDish". I think it's better than what I suggested in a BSD environment, and I think it gets rid of the /tmp owned by bin problem. It still leaves the "management of a project by gid" having to remember to chgrp to the project group in the project directory on a move or copy from /tmp, but that's no big deal (I think).
