Subject: mtime changeable on immutable files (a bug, isn't it?)
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 19:24:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <02032519245700.00785@marvin> (raw)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
You can touch(1) an immutable file, which changes its mtime. Since you can't
change the permission bits of the inode, you shouldn't be able to change the
mtime, correct?
I pointed this out in september of 1999, including a patch that fixes it.
I got no reply answering if this was correct behavior or a bug back then, I'd
appreciate a reply now.
(please CC any reply to me since I'm not on the list)
