- Summary: at1.1 pukes at my box only :-(
- Keywords: chown()
-
- I have a strange problem. I tried to install at1.1 and it gives me as
- non-root the message "cant give away file". The manpage says that the
- chown() function may be used (BSDish) only by root. I have asked
- Thomas and he said that
- - chown() works for non-root SysV-style, and
- - at runs perfectly at his box and he knows of others.
- Any clues? I'm running the 99.2 kernel on a minix-fs.
