Thanks for checking. That suggests there's a more fundamental problem. Please do this as root: cd coreutils-6.10/src ./id -a ./rm -rf f g echo a > f ./chown +0:+0 f ls -ld . f ./cp f g ls -l g and look at the output. The final ls should show g with group "root". If not, please repeat but with this in place of the ./cp command above: strace -o log ./cp f g and then send the output as well as the contents of "log" to the list. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
