I think it would be better that if one is not root that the EPERM error be ignored. This would then be the same as is done now for the 'cp -a' operation or 'tar xf' or any of a number of other operations that are silent about not being able to change the owner. That would work. Easy to implement too... A nice feature would be to be able to set a enviromental variable that would say if cp/mv/whatever should exit or just warn. Then one could pick between the behaviours without having to modify a script etc. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
