DESCRIPTION

     group specified in the password file /etc/passwd and possi-
     bly to other groups as specified in the file /etc/group.  If
     you do not own a file but belong to the group which it is
     owned by then you are granted group access to the file.

     When a new file is created it is given the group of the con-
     taining directory.
