FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001 jkh@narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386
>Description:
User not in group wheel creates a file and its group is listed as wheel, but when checked with "test -G" one sees that it is not really assigned to that group, it is just so reported.
>How-To-Repeat:
I produced the problem after issuing the command 'script' [I use the Korn shell, and editing previous commands caused some "command lines" that were never executed to appear in the script] which I would like to attach to this report; since I don't see any way to do that, I will copy it here (some static conditions are shown in it, i.e., I don't create a user not in the group wheel, he's already there):
