Hat Tip to Brian White

[Jay Ashworth]

Had to help an ex-coworker figure out why a client of theirs was having
"my users own the lockfiles" problems this morning, and an old list posting
of Brian's reminded me about the "setperms script does chmod +s before chown"
problem, which he found, fixed, and it solved their problem.

Hat tip also to Bill for the celestial list archives.

Brian: did you ever actually confirm or deny that chown(1) should reset the
setuid/gid bits even when run by root?

Cheers,
