yes, for me too, but on linux. did you test any OSX variant, though? richard, are you on darwin or panther? I have access to darwin but not panther, so my debugging is limited. > > I think I remember about a similar problem discussed on p5p > > # testing : $r->finfo->user() > # expected: 4294967294 > # received: -2 > not ok 7 > # testing : $r->finfo->group() > # expected: 4294967294 > # received: -2 > > Notice that the expected values are not very good. but they match what Apache-Test is doing. from richard's output ** root mode: changing the files ownership to 'nobody' (4294967294:4294967294) so perl is being consistent with itself, at least. apr merely reports back the result from an fstat call, so the issue really does seem to be with the underlying OS. > Here it is: > http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2002-01/msg01530.html those are good links. however, according to nick in the first thread, they all seem to be talking about c/mtime, not uid/gid. > > and we also need to document that that finfo doesn't give a valid > user/group under Darwin/UFS. I think that's premature at this point. we can just keep skipping failing platforms, I suppose, but I'd rather find someone who really understands this OSX biz before we simply proclaim that the results are meaningless on that platform. that it works fine as non-root (with sensical 501:0 values) leads me to believe that something else is going on. > > Geoff, you are taking care of this? haven't I been? I'll piddle around on moof a bit, but underlying POSIX stuff (or whatever it is) really isn't my strong point. --Geoff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
