Here's the current description for fowners and fperms: fowners: Call chown with the first argument as the mode on all additional arguments. fperms: Call chown with the first argument as the user on all additional arguments. I think it should be: fowners: Call chown with the first argument as the user on all additional arguments. fperms: Call chmod with the first argument as the mode on all additional arguments. Patch below. Denis.

both are incorrect as both imply limitations on the scripts which do not exist fowners runs chown on the specified files in $D fperms runs chmod on the specified files in $D there is no requirement anymore that the first argument be user/mode ... think usage of things like -R for recursive ...
(In reply to comment #2) > both are incorrect as both imply limitations on the scripts which do not exist [...] > there is no requirement anymore that the first argument be user/mode ... think > usage of things like -R for recursive ... I just checked and, well, you're right as always. Anyway, I only wanted to flag that those descriptions were wrong and I hate opening a bug without submitting a patch. Denis.
