This is typical behavior of typical tar implementations... If you like to avoid it, call: star -xp f=archive.tar umask=022 dir-owner=root dir-group=bin -find ! -type d .... use the apropriate values for umask, dir-owner and dir-group to define the permission and owner of intermediate directories. ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/alpha/ Jörg -- EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uni) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily _______________________________________________ Bug-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-tar
