All,
I am totally bewildered at the behavior of setting basic file permissions and ownership on 15.4. I cannot change the group on files I own. (WTF?). I cannot set or unset setgid on directories on directories I own with octets (I can with the g+s syntax)
Damnit! This is going to get old quick. I've never had to be root to set group ownership before. There are no ACL's set, so that's not it either. Is there an apparmor rule or something that is doing this?
I tried to reproduce just now and couldn't (on an ext4 on TW). What filesystem are you on, and what mount options are in place?

ext4 Let me restart box. I just added the groups with groupadd, and gpasswd and then confirmed all was well in Yast. (I did start a new terminal to force a new shell) I wonder if I've made me own bewilderment by not logging out and back in so the group changes are visible. Will report back (wouldn't be the first time that bit me) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
