Greetings ...
I have noticed the following behaviour of FreeBSD 2.1 compared
to UNIX system V. What I'd like to know if this was done
for a reason and if so, why ?
Story line :)
1)
~> md test
~> cd test
~/test> ls -la
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 rbezuide mikomtek 512 Dec 21 09:08 ./
drwx------ 22 rbezuide mikomtek 3072 Dec 21 09:08 ../
2)
~/test> id
uid=9990(rbezuide) gid=540(mikomtek) groups=540(mikomtek), 0(wheel), 5401(netsec)
~/test>
3)
Now I su to root and do a "chgrp bin .". So ...
4)
~/test> ls -la
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 rbezuide bin 512 Dec 21 09:08 ./
drwx------ 22 rbezuide mikomtek 3072 Dec 21 09:08 ../
~/test>
5) NOW !!!!
~/test> touch try
~/test> ls -la
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 rbezuide bin 512 Dec 21 09:12 ./
drwx------ 22 rbezuide mikomtek 3072 Dec 21 09:08 ../
-rw-rw-r-- 1 rbezuide bin 0 Dec 21 09:12 try
^^^^^
Why was the group of the file I touched changed to bin and not to
mikomtek, which is my default group ?? Am I missing something here?
On a HP-UX the the file "try"'s group is also mikomtek and NOT bin.
Was this done for security reasons ?
Thanx :)
