A nice thing SysV has (at least in the version I knew) is a program called perms (or the like) which can save all the owner/group and perms in a textfile, and later reset all possible changes to the "right" valuesaved in this textfile. This was often done in distributions, after all the files had been un-tared from tape. (e.g. the files were supposed to be owned by user esas, but the tar-file just contains the user-number of esas on the source-system, not nessecarily the same user on the target) Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk
