This came up in previous discussion, and the consensus at the time is that leading zeros should not matter, just as they don't matter in ordinary numeric representation. Other implementations disagree with each other on this matter. Obviously there is no standard in this area, so portable scripts shouldn't rely on any particular behavior for "0755". _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
