initial file ownership

Hi,

I've got a question concerning file creation and initial ownership.
The following example will create a file on a tru64 machine, the 2nd does
the same on a Linux machine...

tru64:

# id
uid=500(httpd) gid=500(httpd)
# touch test
# ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 httpd system 0 Feb 26 18:30 test

Linux:

# id
uid=500(httpd) gid=500(httpd)
# touch test
# ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 httpd httpd 0 Feb 26 18:31 test

So, the initial group of a newly created file on tru64 is system, on Linux
it's the group the user belongs to. Is there a way to change the behaviour
of tru64 so that the group is set Linux alike?
Or are my users (in this case httpd) simply misconfigured?

Hope anyone can enlight me in this case...
Thanks in advance!


cheers,

    Horst Reiterer
