MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii From: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE Date: 06 Mar 1999 02:36:19 +0100 Message-ID: <867lsvielo.fsf@slowfox.frob.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.07008 (Pterodactyl Gnus v0.80) Emacs/20.3 Lines: 18 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have installed Emacs 20.3 from the ports collection. At work, I maintain a sizable site-lisp tree on a non-FreeBSD system. I would like to use the same tree at home, so to facilitate copying, I chown'd the /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp directory to my normal login. Every once in a while, this directory gets re-chown'd to root! How can this happen? I looked in /etc/crontab, which told me about /etc/periodic/{daily,weekly,monthly}, which contained lots of files, none of which contain the chown command. /var/cron/tabs is an empty directory. Running 3.1 CVSup'd from the stable tag, if that's important. tia, kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
