Description:   Opened: 2004-10-31 03:23 0000
After I emerged Firebird Version 1.5.1 I was told to run "ebuild
$PATH_TO_EBUILD.ebuild config". I received the following hint by chown:

chown: `root.root' syntax is obsolete; use `:' since this will be removed in
the future

I had a look at the Ebuild and noticed that every chown was done with ":"
except this one:

----------
# we need to enable local access to the server
        if [ ! -f /etc/hosts.equiv ]
        then
                touch /etc/hosts.equiv
                chown root.root /etc/hosts.equiv
                chmod u=rw,go=r /etc/hosts.equiv
        fi

        if [ -z "`grep 'localhost$' /etc/hosts.equiv`" ]
        then
                echo "localhost" >> /etc/hosts.equiv
                einfo "Added localhost to /etc/hosts.equiv"
        fi
----------

Although it isn't critical, maybe you want to change it in future releases?
