Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-07-22 09:37:50 UTC
This is working as documented:

       A combination of the letters âugoaâ controls which usersâ access to the
       file  will  be  changed:  the  user who owns it (u), other users in the
       fileâs group (g), other users not in the fileâs group (o), or all users
       (a).   If  none of these are given, the effect is as if âaâ were given,
       *but bits that are set in the umask are not affected*.
