Dear reader,
While testing permissions on my cvsroot as an ordinary user,
I got an inappropiate error messages from chgrp.
It did, however, correctly refused the operation:
joe@somehost:/path/to/cvsroot $ chgrp users .
chgrp: you are not a member of group `users': Operation not permitted
EM> but i _am_ a member of 'users'! :
joe@somehost:/path/to/cvsroot $ id
uid=176(joe) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),101(cvsusers)
EM> the '.' dir is owned by root, and therefore chgrp is not allowed
EM> and this is ok, but the error message is wrong :-)
joe@somehost:/path/to/cvsroot $ l
total 20
drwxr-x--- 5 root cvsusers 4096 Aug 17 16:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 May 14 16:08 ..
drwxrwx--- 3 root cvsusers 4096 Aug 22 17:27 CVSROOT
drwxrwx--- 4 joe cvsusers 4096 Aug 18 00:15 DBC

Thanks for your time and the fine fileutils in Linux,
Bye-bye,
Eric
