To: hackers@FreeBSD.org Date: Wed, 15 Mar 1995 20:31:27 -0800 (PST) Content-Type: text Content-Length: 609 Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I think I have found one of the things which have troubled us in the install procedure, and would like to hear people opinions: In a cpio file I have: file usr/bin/passwd (root,bin, setuid+0555) symlink usr/bin/yppasswd (bin,bin,0755) -> passwd Now, cpio will do a chown(bin) on usr/bin/yppasswd, and this will make usr/bin/passwd owned by bin instead of root. Obviously wrong. How to fix this ? Who will do it for me ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp -- TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
