Date: 18 Jul 1996 19:21:39 GMT Organization: University of North Florida Lines: 7 Message-ID: <4sm2s3$7t0@pelican.unf.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: osprey.unf.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] We're having a problem when restoring from a tar archive, whether from tape or file. Access perms for "other" are never restored, they always end up as no access. This is a major headache, one a recent restore, I had to hand-set the perms on hundreds of files. Am I failing to include some switch on creation or extraction? Or is this just a bug?
