User john is a member of both webcamd and vboxusers:
# grep john /etc/group
webcamd:*:145:john
vboxusers:*:920:john
When the file /tmp/my-test is owned by webcamd, user john can touch it ok:
$ ls -l /tmp/my-test ; touch /tmp/my-test
-rw-rw---- 1 vboxusers vboxusers 0 Aug 15 12:54 /tmp/my-test
But when /tmp/my-test is owned by webcamd, user john gets an error:
$ ls -l /tmp/my-test ; touch /tmp/my-test
-rw-rw---- 1 webcamd webcamd 0 Aug 15 13:02 /tmp/my-test
touch: /tmp/my-test: Permission denied
Why does this error occur? Two groups seem identical. Just different
group ids.
Filesystem is UFS: /dev/ad10s1a on / (ufs, NFS exported, local)
