Hi,

can someone point me to what has changed in file creation modes in
/tmp directory?

# FreeBSD 6, 7:
$ cd /tmp; id; touch testfile; mkdir testdir; ls -la
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)
drwxr-xr-x   2 nobody  wheel   2 Sep 16 22:10 testdir
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody  wheel   0 Sep 16 22:10 testfile


# FreeBSD 8:
$ cd /tmp; id; touch test; ls -la test
uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)
drwxr-xr-x   2 nobody  nobody   2 Sep 16 22:12 testdir
-rw-r--r--   1 nobody  nobody   0 Sep 16 22:12 testfile


On FreeBSD 6,7 files are created with wheel group, but on 8 - with `gid`.
