What is the "proper" behavior for cp in this case: I have a skeleton directory for starting new hacks dr-xr-xr-x 2 nordwick nordwick 512 Jun 26 03:03 skel/ cp -R skel newhack fails because the skel directory does not have write permission so newhack/ is created without write permission, and then the files in skel cannot be copied to newhack/ shouldnt this work ? Who would i talk to about fixing it ? (on 2.2) jay -- Join the FreeBSD Revolution! mailto:nordwick@xcf.berkeley.edu http://xcf.berkeley.edu/~nordwick
