Right, and that part of the test (explicitly making uid/gid=0/0) is passing. It's just the default case that is failing, and only because the test's assumption doesn't match what is actually happening in the filesystem in terms of default group ownership. >From Martin: > David, could it be that the directories where a change of group occurs > also have the s-bit set? The sticky bit should have no such effect. Not sure - I only noticed the "t" suffix on the directory "ls -ald" listing, which the ls man page called sticky, but didn't think about it much more than that. -- David ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7408> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
