All of the discussions here have been related to the access and
protection NOT ownership as initially requested.  I still believe that
in order for the initial request to work properly WITH disk quotas.  I
have tested this on V7.3-2 with teh following scenerio and file
ownership is as listed below:

User1 - Name: Filetest with UIC [543,123]
User2 - Name: Filet1    with UIC [543,321]

I have used the directory [filetest] as the target which is owned by
[543,123] and has protection (rwe,rwe,re,re)

Files created by account Filet1 in [filetest] are owned by [543,123]
NOT [543,321].  In other words, the quota is consumed by the directory
owner as requested by the initial poster.

Please note that both accounts have GRPPRV enabled.  Without the
GRPPRV, the file create fails with an insufficient priv violation.
