I have a directory 775 /u01/app/oracle/jomarmgr/jcust/users with jomarmgr:jomarmgr ownership. a file exists in directory FILEA with with 644 jomarmgr:jomarmgr ownership. I try to change ownership from jomarmgr to perltest I get "Operation not permitted". It turns out that it appears that root is the only user allowed to change ownerships. I have tried putting the perltest user in the jomarmgr group and the jomarmgr user in the perl test group and reboot -- but this still doesnt work.
