Well it does, in a way, but it will never allow a newly created
directory to be group-writable or other-writable. More restrictive
umasks will be enforced.

We have a few network shares and want to use groups for access
permissions to certain directories. It's just a minor hassle, but if
directories are created via gnome commander, the group-writable bit has
to be set manually after creating the directory. Clients are running
Linux, Windows or MacOS.

Nice email nick, btw :)
