It works on Linux.

  $ id -a
  uid=500(sweh) gid=500(sweh) groups=0(root),500(sweh),501(vboxusers)
  $ ls -ld .
  drwxr-sr-x 2 sweh bin 4096 May  4 18:33 ./
  $ ls -l hmmm
  /bin/ls: hmmm: No such file or directory
  $ touch hmmm
  $ ls -ld hmmm
  -rw-r--r-- 1 sweh bin 0 May  4 18:33 hmmm

So the file I just created is in group bin even though I am not in that
group.
