I see in the tar(1) man-page on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE two options that I would like to use: --uid # --gid # Naturally, these are used to override the on-disk credentials while creating (or extracting) an archive. Problem? They don't seem to be supported. % tar cf some_archive.tar --gid 0 --uid 0 somedir tar: Option --gid is not supported ...
