System name: bloom-picayune
Type and version: KN01 7.4H
Display type: PMAX-MFB
What were you trying to do?
Use chgrp -R, as root, on a local filesystem.
What's wrong:
I get bogus errors:
bloom-picayune# pwd
/u1/ftp/pub/usenet
bloom-picayune# chgrp -R faqs .
chgrp: You are not the owner of soc.answers
chgrp: You are not the owner of Nixpub_Posting_(Long)
chgrp: You are not the owner of Nixpub_Posting_(Short)
chgrp: You are not the owner of UNIX_BBS_Software_FAQ_with_Answers_(v_0.5)
When I try to chgrp each of those files by hands, it works
fine. Incidentally, note that when recursing, it doesn't
print the complete path; it should.
What should have happened:
I shouldn't have gotten the errors above. I suspect that a
buffer is overrunning or something, because the directories in
question has *lots* of files in them.
