Just to be precise ... I found a HP UX machine in the corner :-)

I already thought ...

bash-2.03$ id
uid=103(sithglan) gid=20(users)
bash-2.03$ uname -a
HP-UX apollo8 B.10.20 A 9000/715 2008374648 two-user license
bash-2.03$ touch hello 
bash-2.03$ ls -al hello
-rw-r--r--   1 sithglan   users            0 Jan  9 18:49 hello
bash-2.03$ chown 0:0 hello
bash-2.03$ ls -al hello
-rw-r--r--   1 root       root             0 Jan  9 18:49 hello

By the way ... it would be nice to get feedback from you ... even if I wrote
some offensive eMails :-)

Greetings,
        Thomas
