Hi all, I meet a problem with cpio and I would to know if it's a normal behaviour or a bug. I would to save some files and create directories if needed with owner and permission kept. here is an example with net/quagga: I would to save /usr/local/etc/quagga/ripd.conf and creating needed directory in /tmp
[root@R3]/#ls -alh /usr/local/etc | grep quagga drwxr-xr-x 2 quagga quagga 512B Sep 22 15:28 quagga [root@R3]/#ls -alh /usr/local/etc/quagga/ripd.conf -rw------- 1 quagga quagga 134B Sep 22 15:28 quagga/ripd.conf [root@R3]/#(cd /usr/local/etc; find . -name ripd.conf -type f | cpio -dumpv /tmp/) The file owner and permission for ripd.conf is keept: [root@R3]/#ls -alh /tmp/quagga/ripd.conf -rw------- 1 quagga quagga 134B Sep 22 15:28 /tmp/quagga/ripd.conf But not the directory owner that is changed to root:wheel [root@R3]/#ls -alh /tmp | grep quagga drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512B Sep 22 16:41 quagga Is a cpio bug ?
