Only root can change the owner of a file, the owner of a file can change the group ownership though. Also, given something like the following: -rw-rw-r-- 2 root mrroach 246 Sep 22 12:43 minicom.log I (mrroach) can do the following to basically "take ownership": $ cp minicom.log minicom.log2 $ ls -l minicom.log2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mrroach mrroach 246 Sep 22 12:47 minicom.log2 $ rm minicom.log ; mv minicom.log2 minicom.log $ ls -l minicom.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mrroach mrroach 246 Sep 22 12:47 minicom.log Hope that helps, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
