False, it can do anything. If you are extracting with the tar command just use the --no-same-owner and/or --no-same-permissions options. A program unpacking a tar file [using something like the Python tarfile module, or whatever] can do anything with the stream and the objects it creates. -- System & Network Administrator [ LPI & NCLA ] <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us> Adam Tauno Williams
