Making inheritance of group ID configurable

New items created on an ufs normally inherit their group ID from the parent directory. I have the need for making this configurable. Since the set-group-ID bit is not used for directories on BSD, I would like to use it to decide on this: If it is set, the group ID of the newly created item

Hello, The one setting that I do suggest you keep is: kern.ipc.somaxconn=512 (128 may be too low for http testing) In our experience with Apache and clients that do not use Keep Alive (are short lived), 512 is also very low. It causes listen queue overflows and leads to a very low throughput.
