Bug Description
Came across 2 documents which, I think, are suggesting an incorrect group permission setting:
1) https:/
has the following on page 197:
sudo find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod g=rws "{}" \;
2) https:/
has the following at the end of the document:
sudo find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod g=rws "{}" \;
I'd think that in both cases you'd not want to set the set-group-id bit on an ordinary file that isn't going to be executed.

Thank your for your bug report. Please note that the two references provided are compiled from the same source files.
Based on a bunch of tests I just did, the "s" does seem redundant, but not for reasons of execution. I couldn't end up with a file with my primary group name if the directory it was in has the "s" set. So yes, I believe that:
sudo find /var/www/html -type f -exec chmod g=rw "{}" \;
would be good enough.
Peter do you have an opinion?
