Is this so? I was under the impression that the default group of a new file was the login group of the creator, as specified in /etc/passwd. As for the setgid-on-execution bit: there's no documentation on what it does when set on a directory. The chmod(1) man page doesn't say anything. Does it change the group ownership of newly created files? --Brett At 07:44 PM 4/9/99 -0600, Kenneth Ingham wrote: >As I remember (and I just checked this on a 2.2.8 system and it appears >to be correct), the default group owner of a file is the group owner of the >directory containing the file. > >I've seen other systems which set the setgid bit on the dir to get this >behavior. > >Kenneth To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
