This is so that the owner of the directory is able to have access to all the contents regardless of the writer. In your test of shelling out, you bypass the permission change because you are no longer under write control of universe. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= "Happiness comes through doors you didn't even know you left open." - Anonymous Glenn M.

None of our users are set up in the 'bin' group they are all in the 'users' group. However, I've noticed the when we save a program source, while in UV, the group it's saved under is 'bin'. If I shell out of UV then save a file it is saved under the 'users' group. Can someone explain this behavior?
