Hi.

I just noticed some unwanted behaviour of install. When using the
-o option as non-root, it just installs the file as yourself. When
also using the option '-m 4755', it justs makes the file setuid me !
So a harmless install -m 4755 -o nobody prog dest will not do what the
reason for doing it was in the first place...

I noticed that FreeBSD install unlinks the file when it cannot chown/chgrp
it.

So is this behaviour a well considered choice or is it a bug ?

Zlo
