Obviously because of this: bash-2.02$ touch test bash-2.02$ ls -la test -rw-r--r-- 1 544 Kein 0 Oct 5 09:57 test bash-2.02$ id uid=1000(kai) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein) bash-2.02$ chmod a+w test bash-2.02$ ls -la test -rw-r--r-- 1 544 Kein 0 Oct 5 09:57 test bash-2.02$ But that just shifts the confusion somewhere else.
