System: RH 6.2
I have a CD that I cut containing a tar file that was made on a different
system (Solaris 2.5.1 using gnutar).
I now want to restore the tar file on my system, keeping the ownership
and group of the original files. No matter what I try, the files all
belong to root. The -p and --same-owner did not work. I created entries
in the passwd/shadow/group files and that didn't help.
I couldn't get tar to show me the UID and GID of the files. At minimum,
I would have expected tar to drop the files down with the UID and GID
values. But no, it made everything belong to root.
Unfortunately I can't go find out what the UID/GID values are at this time.
So, what does it take to get tar to do what I want?
Thanks.
