The concept of a user's default belongs more to SysV than BSD. Under BSD, the group of a newly-created file is determined by the group of the directory it is created in. To change the group of newly created files in a directory, use chgrp on the directory; to change the group of files already created in a directory, use chgrp on the files (or chgrp -R on the directory if all the descendants of that directory are intended to be affected by the command). -- Greg Black <gjb@acm.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
