The touch info file does talk about permissions, but it seems not to talk about the case when I can reset the modification time despite permissions,
$ whoami jidanni $ ls -l a -rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 4370 2004-08-21 03:15 a $ chmod 0 a $ touch a $ ls -l a ---------- 1 jidanni jidanni 4370 2004-08-21 06:15 a just because it's mine. So perhaps mention it. $ ed a a: Permission denied That's better. Often I want to protect myself from myself. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
