Solaris group ID permission drwxrwS--x
why is the group id in capital S and not lowercase s ?
I have a directory with the following permissions: drwxrws--x when I remove the group id and add it again with g+s or chmod 2765 , it displays the group ID in capital "S" instead of lowercase "s" tried to find this out on Google, but there is almost nothing mentioned. this looks like a bug, anyone else had this problem? ---------- Post updated at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous update was at 11:48 PM ---------- never mind, found the problem, you would first need execute permission on the group |

The capital S means that you have set the SGID bit.
There is an explanation in man ls . |
