Hi Tito, Makes sense, thanks for the explanations. IMO the current usage is pretty confusing since it doesn't emphasize that -n and -r must be used in conjunction with -u or -g. Would a patch fixing the usage to emphasize this be fitting for BusyBox or is it on purpose as such? As an example for inspiration, the OpenBSD man page and usage emphasizes this: https://man.openbsd.org/id Thanks, Nir _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] https://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
