Johannes,
Thanks for the prompt response. On the systems that work:-
>fergus:pwd
>/usr/local/packages/git-1.6.0.2
>fergus:mkdir y
>fergus:dir y
>total 0
>drwxr-xr-x 2 fergus fergus 68 21 Oct 22:52 ./
>drwxr-xr-x 692 fergus fergus 23528 21 Oct 22:52 ../
>fergus:id
>uid=501(fergus) gid=501(fergus) groups=501(fergus),98(_lpadmin),101(com.apple.sharepoint.group.1),66(_uucp),80(admin)
on the system that fails I see
>fergus:mkdir y
>fergus:dir y
>total 0
>drwxr-xr-x 2 fergus wheel 68 Oct 21 22:52 ./
>drwxr-xr-x 693 fergus wheel 23562 Oct 21 22:52 ../
>fergus:id
>uid=501(fergus) gid=501(fergus) groups=501(fergus), 81(appserveradm), 79(appserverusr), 80(admin)
Looking into this further, creating a file/dir on a BSD based system such
as OSX, the group ownership of the file/dir is taken from the enclosing
dirs group. Unlike say Solaris or Linux where it is based on your primary
group. I had not noticed this difference before!
All test passed, after changing the group ownership.
