It does not either apply or not apply to any UID. That's not what I said, 
read again above.

It applies only to the exact files listed in /etc/permissions.easy and 
/etc/permissions.local

For instance, the "/etc/permissions.easy" contains:

/var/lib/xemacs/lock         root:root         1777
/var/run/uscreens            root:root         1777

Meaning that /var/lib/xemacs/lock will be forced to be owned bu user 
"root" and group "root" with octal permissions 1777.

Understood now? :-)
