Ah. Here we are: contrib/tar/src/extract.c, revision 1.2 (07-Jun-2002) by sobomax +#ifndef __FreeBSD__ same_permissions_option += we_are_root; same_owner_option += we_are_root; +#endif This disabled -p as the default for root in FreeBSD builds of GNU tar. This change was first released in FreeBSD 4.7 as far as I can tell. This does beg the question whether bsdtar should follow FreeBSD GNU tar or FSF GNU tar?
