Hi, I created the following directory structure and file aaaaa: [peter@sdpeter asdf]$ ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 2 peter peter 4096 Dec 2 20:02 . drwxrwxrwx 8 peter peter 4096 Dec 2 20:00 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 peter peter 0 Dec 2 20:02 aaaaa Then I decided to chown the file and got "Operation not permitted" [peter@sdpeter asdf]$ chown gregory aaaaa chown: changing ownership of `aaaaa': Operation not permitted What is going on here? It's my file. Shouldn't I be able to do whatever I want with it? Another example: 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 peter users 4096 Dec 2 20:02 . 4 drwxrwxrwx 8 peter users 4096 Dec 2 20:00 .. 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 gregory users 0 Dec 2 20:02 aaaaa Why peter can not chmod file aaaaa? It looks like I'm missing some basic linux knowledge here. Please help.
