I am a Linux freak originally, and there euid (or uid if the same) and egin (and gid if the same) are used to give ownership, and this was the cause, why I didn't figure out the cause of the problem. Things are funny tho.. why would one want to do things this way? security issues? Thanks everyone who gave me hints..
