Hi a little new to Linux - but an old timer at Unix (incl. at&t, HP-UX, SCO, DG-UX, AIX, SUN-OS)
in other unixes, any user can use chown - provided the file is owned by that user. (except for root, which can chown any file). I was wondering why the gnu chown doesn't have an option to behave like other unixes, where the 'owner' of a file can chown. also - if you know of an other non-gnu chown that can allow any user to change the owner of his own file only. (again, like most other unixes). thx Sam Genzen (845) 356-8166 voice (206) 350-4378 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
