(Confirmed by looking at > "/usr/src/bin/chmod/chmod.c".) Good catch! But you are obviously talking about chmod.c in the 4-STABLE branch. If you look at the source code of chmod.c in 5.0-CURRENT you will see the special behavior is there. > Patch this: > .\" $FreeBSD: src/bin/chmod/chmod.1,v 1.17.2.12 2002/09/18 23:40:35 trhodes Exp $ I think that the manpage is a result of an MFC (version 1.17.2.10 was the one that introduced the changes to chmod.1) which failed to update the source code too. IMHO, the best thing to do would be to keep the manpage as it is now and merge the chmod.c stuff too. What do you think?
