Is there a way to force tar to preserve that bit, or is that no included by the "preserve permissions" flag? :) Thanks Robert N Watson Junior, Logic+Computation, Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ Network Administrator, SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ robert@fledge.watson.org rwatson@safeport.com http://www.watson.org/~robert/
