Description robert-spam99 2000-07-14 08:20:01 UTC 
Upon creating a file, it will be created in the same group as the
directory in which it is being created, even if you are not a member
of this group. I removed my sticky bit on /tmp and tested it there.

I suppose the kernel thinks that 02000 is on the directory.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

FreeBSD implements one of two permissible behaviors defined by the 
POSIX 1003.1 standard.  This choice was by intention, matches 
historic BSD behavior, and is highly unlikely to be revisited.
