Is this wrong from an Unix philosophy point of view? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Let's say I have a user which is authenticating (him|her)self against an Active Directory Server from (his|her) Mac OS X machine. This leads the uid tool showing some group ids which are not the standard ones (20,80,0,501, 502, etc.). For instance: 1547231201. Shall the gid for the file be the one of the parent folder (staff for instance) or the one shown by uid? Currently, for a tool, I'm setting the gid of the resulting file to the gid of the logged user (obtained with getgid()). Additionally, doing this prevents an Apple application from using the file whereas the uid for the file is perfectly correct and the permissions are rwx for the user.
