10.5: How to set NSUmask in Leopard
Off topic a little but I wanted to comment on the link to the User's Private Groups.
10.5: How to set NSUmask in Leopard
"On the Mac, the default group for new files in a directory is equal to the group of the directory -- not the group of the user. I guess Linux goofed on this -- this is a long standing Unix tradition."
10.5: How to set NSUmask in Leopard
Here is the documentation for AIX 5.2 that explains that sgid on a directory works the same as on Linux:
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/libs/basetrf1/chmod.htm#jk52a0gaco From the manual: "S_ISGID...Files created in this directory have a group equal to the group of the directory." Also this page: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-5747-01/6i9g1asg2?l=en&a=view explains the same behavior in Solaris as far back as Solaris 2.6 but indicates the idea of sgid on folder propagating group is a BSDism. |
