Assume I have a file X which is 4555 root:bin
                     Y which is 0755 root:wheel

As root, cp Y X results:
1) Although I don't have write permission, the file is transferred.
2) The resulting file is 4555 root:bin

Is this normal unix operation?
I am running 2.2-960801-SNAP.

Regards,
Tom
