    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.
