Thanks for taking your time and helping us to make Ubuntu better.
Poking around some known system administrators whom I know made me know
that this is the common behavior in Debian and other distributions as
well. It first checks the others membership, then group and then
owner.Thus when owned by Joe and has 0 for 'owner', it doesn't allow Joe
to access as he has a explicit 0 permission. But when Bob is the owner,
Joe is not; Bob has a 0 permission, not Joe who now falls under the
group categ and has a 7 permission. IMHO, 070 is the weirdest of the
permissions i have seen, though it is allowed.
