no suggestions about variables in ipnat.conf?

Coming from BSD, I noticed a difference in OmniOS: when I create a new item in a directory on the file system, the group ownership ID is not inherited from the directory, but is the same GID of the owner of the new item. I can set the setgid bit on the directory to change this behavior, but I'm wondering if there is a way to change it system-wide.

warden: FreeBSD has ability to set it system-wide?

vetal: no need to set it... it simply set the group ownership ID of new items to the same GID of its parent folder

And I've one more request (sorry, I have to learn a lot of OmniOS...): I'd like to use RCS (Revision Control System), but I didn't found it in base neither in IPS repos. Thus I decided to try SCCS, but I'm stuck trying to put an existing configuration file under revision control! :(

the command "/usr/ccs/bin/sccs enter -o test.conf" leave me with a ",test.conf" file, which I do not understand how to manage

to be clear, with RCS I'm used to put a file under revision control by issuing "ci -u test.conf". That leaves the configuration file untouched in its original directory. Then I check out with "co -l test.conf", edit it and check back in with "ci -u -m'comment' test.conf".

how can I accomplish the same tasks using SCCS?

I found this ( computerworld.com/article/1427447/h…es-and-anything-else-with-sccs.html ) but maybe the info are a bit outdated?

warden: RCS ? Did you try git?

Well, maybe git is a bit overkill for maintaining change history for a few and sparse config files…

warden: But it is well known and easy to use. There is also mercurial

I’d like to use something “light” as RCS, but Incan give Mercurial a try: I didn’t ever used it

warden: About set-group-ID for directory. I see the same behaviour for Linux. It sets users GID util set-group-ID is set on parent directory

In fact, that behavior is specific to BSD’s OS family. Any way to change the default in Illumos? I was thinking to something like umask…

git sucks

SCCS is notably better for tasks like the above

IMO, RCS is worse than SCCS (its history format is weird)
