Hello, fellow subscribers
Recently I was playing with directory permissions on a ext4 filesystem and I have stumbled
at a situation when setting up setting up directory SGID behaves not as expected, at least for me.
For example:
chmod g+s my_directory works the same as chmod 2755 my_directory
On the other hand:
chmod g-s my_directory doesn't work the same as chmod 0755 my_directory
the latest doing absolutely nothing to remove the intended SGID bit.
The latest package I have is coreutils-8.4-13.el6.x86_64
Thank you for your thoughts.
