setgid 'procmod' permission
Raw
new_gist_file
This special permission allows the file to be run with the security permissions of the group instead of the permission of the user who ran the program. This can be a source of security problems. The sgid permission is seen as an "S" in the group executable position in a long directory listing (ls -l). Has no effect if the file is not executable.
