System name: OTISBURG.MIT.EDU
Type and version: KN01 7.1H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PM-MONO
What were you trying to do?
rcp a file to my afs directory via my workstation
What's wrong:
since I updated to 7.1, a new error message has appeared
tjcoppet@OTISBURG% rcp -p TO_DO.interop tom@otisburg:/mit/tom
rcp: can't truncate /mit/tom/TO_DO.interop: Permission denied
tjcoppet@OTISBURG% l ~/TO*
-r--r--r-- 1 tom 263 Sep 19 16:21 /mit/tom/TO_DO.interop
The permissions on the original file are 444, though the error only
appears if the destination is on afs. The file is copied in tact,
but the rcp exits with a status of 1.
What should have happened:
I would like it to recognize when it has done a successful job and
be able to leave the file in a read-only state.
