Sorry, but POSIX requires that "mkdir -p FOO/BAR" must create FOO as if by the following command: mkdir -m $(umask -S),u+wx FOO See: http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/utilities/mkdir.html It might make sense to add the behavior you desire, as a new option to mkdir, but I'd have some qualms about changing the existing, standard behavior, as people may be relying on it. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
