Follow-up Comment #2, bug #13432 (project mc): man 2 chown In versions of Linux prior to 2.1.81 (and distinct from 2.1.46), chown did not follow symbolic links. Since Linux 2.1.81, chown does follow symbolic links, and there is a new system call lchown that does not follow symbolic links. Since Linux 2.1.86, this new call (that has the same semantics as the old chown) has got the same syscall number, and chown got the newly introduced number.
So we need to check one more function in configure and use lchown() insteod of chown() in the vfs/local.c if HAVE_LCHONW. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13432> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
