Thanks, I installed that on the trunk. This reflects a change in behavior to mkdir (for compatibility with Solaris) that is not in the 5.9x branch, so we shouldn't need the patch there. However, now that I've looked into it, we're still not quite compatible in a few odd cases, and in some cases both systems seem to be just plain wrong: $ uname -a SunOS lindbrook 5.8 Generic_117350-28 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440 $ ls -ld . drwxr-sr-x 2 eggert csfac 4096 Jun 15 11:22 . $ /bin/mkdir -m +t a $ gmkdir -m +t b $ ls -ld a b drwxrwsrwt 2 eggert csfac 4096 Jun 15 11:23 a drwxrwxrwt 2 eggert csfac 4096 Jun 15 11:23 b (*) $ /bin/mkdir -m g-s c $ gmkdir -m g-s d $ ls -ld c d drwxrwsrwx 2 eggert csfac 4096 Jun 15 11:23 c (*) drwxrwsrwx 2 eggert csfac 4096 Jun 15 11:23 d (*) I'd say that the outputs marked (*) are wrong, which means two bugs for GNU mkdir and one for Solaris mkdir. I'll take a look at the GNU code. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
