Umm, copying a file with either of - install - cp without the --preserve option the owner of the file will be the one who invoked the copy. Therefore, if you run install as root, the file will be owned by root already. Save for cases where root has to use like install -o postfix, install -o/-g is really useless. _______________________________________________ X2Go-Dev mailing list X2Go-Dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
