Hello guys!!
Who can explain me what does this upper "S" mean
in the following chmod sequence, doesn't it have to be lowercase???
------------------------------------------------------------------------
# touch x
# chmod -u+s x
# ls -al x
---S--S--- 1 root system 0 Apr 10 10:19 x
# chmod 640 x
# ls -al x
-rw-r----- 1 root system 0 Apr 10 10:19 x
# chmod u+s x
# ls -al x
-rwSr----- 1 root system 0 Apr 10 10:19 x
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!
