That's precisely the bug in the mknod() system call: you cannot specify the
owner! :-(

Files needn't be created by mknod(): there's creat() or open().

That question is a non-sequitur. Iran, Chile, South Africa and Auschwitz, etc., are neither "God" nor "in God", unless you hold to a pantheistic view, in which case you would have more significant disagreements with the Apostle John. But this does not belong in this group, so if you want to discuss it further, lets move it to e-mail. Wolf -- Wolf N.
