Hi, According to bsdtar(1) manpage, tar has a --gname switch that permits to set an arbitrary groupname in the tar archive, but: $ tar -cf test.tar --gname root test.sh tar: Option --gname is not supported Usage: List: tar -tf <archive-filename> Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename> Create: tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...] Help: tar --help I get the same error for --uname and --gid switches. I'm running 9.0-BETA3 (r226421). Did those switches used to work in previous releases of FreeBSD ? Regards, Romain
