Subject: chown bug
Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2001 20:06:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010305200623.A18183@fefe.de> (raw)
The man page says:
If the owner or group is specified as -1, then that ID is not
changed.
If user !root says chown("/usr",-1,-1), he gets EPERM. Why?
He explicitly told the kernel that he does not actually want to change
anything. Why would the kernel say EPERM?
Felix
