No, it seems to be some combination of ... something. My Ubuntu boxes all have "t" on the /tmp directory as well, but don't seem to exhibit this behavior (whether or not I add myself to the "root" group that owns /tmp). But on the FreeBSD and OSX systems I can show this just though "mkdir" from the command line. At some level, I'm not sure it really matters as long as the test uses whatever actual filesystem ownership is in place checking for default values. -- David ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7408> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
