Hi--
I have just noticed that when doing a copy of a directory, the copy of the
directory has different owner/group and permissions than the original, and
when done, has reverted back to the original permissions.
This was my test directory. Here is my output during the initial stage, just
after copying has begun:
drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 Oct 29 22:56 Mixdown Project
And when the copy was complete:
drwxrwxrwx 8 jeffrey jeffrey 272 May 6 2005 Mixdown Project
I was sudo'd to do the cp.
Can someone tell me why cp is doing this?
Thanks :)
All My Best,
Jeffrey
