Description Kevin J. Miller 2002-11-18 23:16:51 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
If I have a directory in a tmpfs partition, and the gid bit is set, files
created in this directory will still have the user's default group rather than
the group of the directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir
2. chgrp other_group /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir
3. chmod g+s /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir
4. touch /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir/a_file
5. ls -l /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir/a_file

Actual Results:  The /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir/a_file is owned by my_group.

Expected Results:  The /mnt/tmpfs/some_dir/a_file should be owned by other_group.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
