Hi all, I create an archive with "tar cvf toto.tar ." but all the included directories have no execution permission (no x for u,g, or o). This is unimportant if the archive is extracted on Windows, but when I extract it under Linux it is very annoying since to be able to access the extracted dirs, I need to manually change the permissions (chmod -R +x or using find). Is this the expected behavior ?! Is there a way to override it ? Side question : if I extract the same archive under Solaris, tar shows a warning saying it has forced the extracted directories to have +x. Why I don't get the same behavior under Linux ? is there a magical setting somewhere ? The umask is the same on both systems ... ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
