When trying to run chown -h -R user.group file ... I get the message chown: the -R and -h options may not be specified together Why is this so? I want to pass a whole file hierarchy over to a user; including the symlinks (not what they point at). In IRIX 5.3 it's possible for example. Even HP-Sucks can deal with it. -Andre
