Hi I found Free/Net/OpenBSD semantic is different from Linux/Solaris. Suppose there is a directory called 'directory, With owner www, and group www and permission 0777. Then I touch a file: $ touch file $ ls -la total 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 www www 512 May 31 17:14 . drwxrwxrwt 8 root wheel 512 May 31 17:14 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 patrick www 0 May 31 17:14 file ^^^ The file created will have a group owner of the owner of the directory not the creator. So I have two questions here: 1. So is there a difference with SGID on directory? 2. Any idea about why it is different from SYSV (Linux/Solaris)?
