Be careful with one thing: If you move a file into that directory, 
it keeps its group and does not change it during the move. If you 
copy it, the directory's group is taken, though. (That's because a 
move (in a filesystem) does not create a new file, but only a new 
directory entry; whereas a copy really creates a new file.)
