chown() requires root permissions. You cannot set the owner from a non-suid program. Gnucash is not setuid (and shouldn't be setuid!), so we cannot chown() the file. We can still chgrp the file, and we do so now. -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
