[haiku-development] Re: Information security based small task

Hi,

Okay, I looked into the bug, bfs, ext2 affected for sure.
Turns out if you don't specify the group while chown-ing, the weird numbers
come up.
As per posix specs, if group is not specified, then whatever group that
inode/file/dir belongs to should remain the same...
(chmod <options> <user>:<optional::group> <files/dirs...>)

I don't know which files to look, little help here, thanks.
Based on an estimated guess, we need to make sure if group is not specified,
chown should keep the original group intact.

Best Regards,
Rohit Yadav
