- We've noticed here that over NFS, creating a file from an AIX machine
- process puts that file into the group of the process rather than the
- group of the parent directory (which is the BSD semantics everyone has
- come to know and love). Is this a bug in NFS, or is this something
- AIX decided to implement? Shouldn't AIX NFS honour the real file system's
- conventions?
-
- The real filesystem lies on a Sun.
-
- I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions.
