Charles-Francois Natali <neolo...@free.fr> added the comment: Actually, looking at the man page, this seems to be normal:
--- In order to change the owner or group, you must own the file and have the CHOWN privilege (see setprivgrp(1M)). [...] Note that a given user's or group's ability to use this command can be restricted by setprivgrp (see setprivgrp(1M)). --- So depending on the setting of setprivgrp, chown'ing a file to root may be allowed or not. It might be a good idea to skip this test on HP-UX. Solaris apparently behaves in the same way. ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5113> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
