Hi, Following previous advice from questions@, I filed a PR for this (bin/161749) and I'm forwarding the previous mail to this list: According to bsdtar(1) manpage, tar has a --gname switch that permits to set an arbitrary groupname in the tar archive, but: $ tar -cf foo.tar --gname root bar tar: Option --gname is not supported Usage: =C2=A0List: =C2=A0 =C2=A0tar -tf <archive-filename> =C2=A0Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename> =C2=A0Create: =C2=A0tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...] =C2=A0Help: =C2=A0 =C2=A0tar --help I get the same error for --uname and --gid switches. I'm running 9.0-BETA3 (r226421). Does this have any chances to be corrected in a not to far away future? Regards, Romain
