still seems to give "you are not the owner" messages when run as root.
both the 5.x version and the one in /paris/source/4.3/bin do it on
charon. I was using the -R option; without the -R option it seems to
work okay.
First glance at sources seems to indicate that it refuses to change
the group of a file with an owner different from that of the
containing directory, even when run as root. Even if this is a
reasonable policy (which I don't believe) the error message is
incorrect.
