Hello, after another Test, Thierry could reproduce the described behaviour that you can't keep the locked flag (uchg) of a file when zipping it with PKzip. So perhaps anybody can confirm either if it is a standard behavior/feature of OSX 10.5/10.6 or it's a bug of OSX? Because I don't find any hints googeling, I almost think it is standard, but why? Test: A folder containing a file with the locked flag. Zipping it, e.g: ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc SrcFolder testditto.zip Unzipping it and the locked flag is gone Thanks Tiemo
