Hi there,

I'm sure that this has been covered at great length, but I've missed the 
discussion.  Does anyone know that chgrp and chown are broken on 
symbolic links.  Even if I specify the -RH, -RL, or -RHL flags (I tried 
each combination), it didn't work.  

Lemme know if this has been resolved or if I'm doing something wrong.  I 
am using FreeBSD 2.2.2.
