Subject: [9fans] Changing ownership of files or chown is missing
Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 08:43:05 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM8pOuPiu5nG9dX7ij6kDJpBGmqBCvX2PRT5yiu9iAoEWzUXww@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I had hg complaining about the owner of the system wide hgrc on 9front so
I did what I thought was most obvious and tried a chown of the file. No chown.
So I did a google and found that plan9 doesn't have chown or anything like chown
because that concept doesn't exist on plan9. This seems a bit funny
since an ls -l
shows me file owners and groups. I got around not having chown by copying the
file and then moving it over the original file.
Could somebody explain to me why there is no concept of chown on plan9 and what
is the plan9 way around changing the owners and groups of files? Thanks.
