8 The group that a command is run as starts to become much more germane
9 when you are using sudo to run commands as a different non-root user.
10 E.g. if you want to run commands as the Oracle user to manage things
11 about a database.

13 In some ways this is somewhat akin to setting the GID bit on a directory
14 so that newly created files inherit the group of the directory. At
15 least insofar as the type of situation that would necessitate the use of
16 this feature.
