Hey ,

        I guess the man pages have not been updated. It is known that
Linux manpages are not updated frequently. (The how-to Funda) There was a
huge discussion abt this on the comp.linux group. One group for man pages
and one for a texinfo version. Last I heard was that the man pages ppl
won :)

here is the BSd snippet its up-to-date :)


CHOWN(8)                FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
CHOWN(8)

NAME
     chown - change file owner and group
 
<snip>

The ownership of a file may only be altered by a super-user for obvious
security reasons.

The chown utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
