Hi all,
I've been bitten by the following:
44 relativity ~ % chown -v djb:wheel test
chown: illegal option -- v
usage: chown [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] owner[:group] file ...
chown [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] :group file ...
chgrp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f] [-h] [-v] group file ...
Where "test" is an ordinary directory.
It seems that chown's behavior is inconsistent with both the usage message
and the man page. The same goes for chgrp.
Regards,
Dave Boers.
