    thank you
    in solaris there´s a parameter that you can change in /etc/system that
    allows you to do this
    is there anyway to do something similar on aix?

    Por favor, responda a IBM AIX Discussion List <aix-l@Princeton.EDU>

    Clasificación:

    only root can use chown if the man page is correct:

    "Only the root user can change the owner of a file. You can change the
    group
    of a
    file only if you are a root user or if you own the file. If you own the
    file
    but
    are not a root user, you can change the group only to a group of which you
    are a
    member."

    that's from an AIX 4.3.3 ml10 machine.
