Why can I only use symbolic modes for clearing ?

and you can set (but not clear) the bits with a numeric mode.

isn't "chmod 0755 DIR" explicit enough ?
Thanks for the report. However, this is not a bug. POSIX states:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/chmod.html
I did not told it a bug, yet ;)
I agree that having
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 48 2011-03-31 18:13 tmp/
and doing a "chmod 755"
would have removed the s-gid-bit in the past.
e.g.:
hv-gate:~/test # chmod -v 755 tmp/
Modus von „tmp/“ nach 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) geändert
and I agree that this should not happen.
but:
when I want to remove the s-gid-bit it should be possible to do a
chmod 0755 tmp
and not to be forced to the "same" but more complicated version
chmod g=rx-s tmp
IMHO
for removing s-gid-bit from
drwxr-sr-x 2 root root 48 2011-03-31 18:13 tmp/
"u=rwx,g=rx-s,o=rx" == "0755"
and using "0755" is explicit enough, isn't it ?
Cheers
