The reason why the copy-gid-from directory behavior is better: Imagine a rich set of groups on your computer--representing protection domains for actual groups of actual people. A given project might be group "foobie", and all the people working on that project are in the group. They use a umask of 002. Everything works Just Great! Because when they create files or directories inside the project, they automatically have the *group* set to "foobie", even though the primary egid of the user might be "user-category-6" or something like that. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
