SUID on directories

Recently I read a Samba book where explained the use of SUID/SGID applied on directories, so, any file/directory created under that, takes same ownership of parent directory. I did some tests and SGID works well, any file or directory takes group of parent directory, but doesn't take user. What's wrong?

[ /home/testing ] $ ls -la
total 0
drwsrwsrwx 2 anyuser nobody  48 2006-10-02 23:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root    root   152 2006-10-02 23:54 ..
[ /home/testing ] $ touch somefile
[ /home/testing ] $ mkdir somedir
[ /home/testing ] $ ls -la
total 0
drwsrwsrwx 3 anyuser nobody  96 2006-10-02 23:57 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root    root   152 2006-10-02 23:54 ..
drwxr-sr-x 2 miguel  nobody  48 2006-10-02 23:57 somedir
-rw-r--r-- 1 miguel  nobody   0 2006-10-02 23:57 somefile

Re: SUID on directories

suid has no use on linux(on directories ofc) according to a wikipedia entry.
