Andreas Kupries <andre...@activestate.com> added the comment:

I do not know if this is standard for hpux or not.

I can say that right now we have six different HPUX machines which
behave in this manner, i.e. do not throw an error for the 'chown root
foobar' command for an ordinary (non-root) user.

Regarding the platform codes, here are the results.

andre...@bertha:~/tmp/autotest> ./apy/bin/python2.5
ActivePython 2.5.4.3 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Jan 20 2009, 14:48:58) [C] on hp-ux11
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys, platform
>>> sys.platform
'hp-ux11'
>>> platform.system()
'HP-UX'
>>> quit()

The six machines I mentioned are

bertha   - HP-UX 11.00 (PA-RISC)
bigsur03 - HP-UX 11.22 (Itanium)
hpa180   - HP-UX 11.00 (PA-RISC)
bigsur03 - HP-UX 11.22 (Itanium)
hpl3000  - HP-UX 11.23 (PA-RISC)
bigsur05 - HP-UX 11.32 (Itanium)
