we just upgraded from redhat 7.5 to redhat enterprise linux ES 2.1 . I was changing ownerships when I noticed a little anomality.
Lets say I have 3 directories in /home named dir1,dir13,dir17. Lets also say that I have 3 users by the same names. If I assign ownership of /home/dir1/ to user dir1 everything work fine, but if I try changing the ownership of /home/dir13/ or /home/dir17/ to users dir13 and dir17 the ownership is assigned to the user dir1 instead. Is as if the second diget of the name is being ignored. I copied chown from a different machine running redhat 7.5 and got the same thing, so I don't know if it's a bug. This happened with other directories users as well. For intance Code: directory | current owner | try to changed to | actually changed to ------------------------------------------------------------------- dir20 | anyone | dir20 | dir2 dir21 | whoever | dir21 | dir2 dir35 | anyuser | dir35 | dir3 dir38 | root | dir38 | dir3 _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
