This could be taken to mean that there was a time when "none" was the default destination file owner if the source owner was not recognised on the destination host, and that none of the currently in use tools manifest this behaviour any more. The reason I'm being pedantic, is that I'd like to be sure that this behaviour is not something hidden in the file handling somewhere that will return to haunt those of us who are not aware of it. If it is, then it would be good to have it documented. ++L
