The following reply was made to PR kern/68905; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Volker <volker@vwsoft.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, trew@hick.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/68905: core dumps are assigned wrong ownership Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 19:48:06 +0100 Blake, I just found your PR has never been touched by anybody. I'm sorry nobody ever answered this. If the root touches any file, which already existed before, the file owner does not change. This is also the case when using `su' to get superuser rights. In your case, the file core has been created by user 'trew' and while root also writes to that file, it doesn't change file ownership. I'm seeing this as 'by design' and not a bug. Do you agree to have your PR being closed? Thanks!
