Hi all,
Is there a reason why whenever I chown a directory with the SGID bit set, it gets reset for me? The problem did not occur with older (1.2) kernels.
Demo: [root@computer test]# ls -ld drwxrwsr-x 2 user1 group 1024 May 16 17:29 . [root@computer test]# chown user2 . [root@computer test]# ls -ld drwxrwxr-x 2 user2 group 1024 May 16 17:29 .
I am aware of why this is the correct behaviour for executables, but SGID means something completely different for a directory.
