This and the other similar one will apply to anything with BSD-derived
filesystem semantics. BSD FSen always inherit the group from the
parent directory (rather than only when the dir is sgid like SysV).
So this will presumably affect Net/Open/Dragonfly/whatever else too,
and maybe others (earlier versions of HP/UX? Like we even support
that... ;)

However, it can vary by filesystem too. On ZFS, for instance, SysV
semantics hold.
