Which owner do they have on the tape? (Try ``tar -tv'') If they belong already to root there, tar won't assign them to somebody else when extracting. For me, it works as expected, i.e. if i'm root when unpacking, the ownership of the files changes to that of the tape, otherwise the user running `tar' will always become the owner of the extracted files, since changing the ownership is only allowed for root. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
