Small bug in chown and chgrp ?
Hi all, I've been bitten by the following: 44 relativity ~ % chown -v djb:wheel test chown: illegal option -- v usage: chown [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] owner[:group] file ... chown [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] :group file ... chgrp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] group file ... Where "test" is an ordinary directory. It seems that chown's behavior is inconsistent with both the usage message and the man page. The same goes for chgrp.

Re: Small bug in chown and chgrp ?
It is rumoured that Alfred Perlstein had the courage to say: have you deleted your stale copies of chown/chgrp? hint look in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin and make sure the old ones aren't "in the way". Yes I have. Because I got a new disk, I did a fresh install of -current a few weeks ago. Well after the change of chown/chgrp from /bin and /sbin to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. I double checked to make sure and the only versions of chown/chgrp are the ones in /usr/sbin and /usr/bin respectively.
