For executables the 'sticky' bit makes the program run as the userid. For directories however, it behaves differently. Try: mkdir foo chown x.y foo mkdir foo/bar chmod g+s foo and then: mkdir foo/baz And then observe the output of ls -l foo/ As you can see, the directory foo/baz has 'inherited' the group setting because of the +s. This is exactly what you wanted. Greetings, Chris Niekel _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
