Sorry for the noise, digging through lots of not-deep-enough information I finally found: http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/aunix1/filepermissions.htm Now I can remember that I already was upset about this, one decade ago, and there was a reason not to use the POSIX permission model at all for so long. In that particular case I'll have to use the uchg flag. Sorry again for the noise!
