It seems that ZFS uses SysV group semantics (new files get the 1ary group=
 of
the user unless the directory is set to SGID).  UFS filesystems on 8.x=20
still behave in the expected BSD way (new files get the same group as the=

directory unless the user is not a member of that group, when they get th=
e
users' 1ary group).

There's a thread 'ZFS Group ownership'  on this topic in freebsd-hackers@=
=2E..
at the moment.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
