It initially sets the permissions to 600 presumably to limit access to an unfinished copy from other users. The mtime must be set after copying the contents, because adding a file or directory changes the mtime of the parent. > And does cp -a work in the same way? Probably yes, for the same reasons, but I haven't checked. -- Remy
