I asked the people on the mailing list of our local LUG to test if chmod changes ctime on non-GNU systems even when there is no difference beteen the mode before and after the chmod. From these few data, the trend seems to be that ctime gets changed. Here are the results thus far (identified by "uname -a"): systems that change ctime: -------------------------- AIX XXXXXXXX 3 4 000650834C00 SunOS XXXXXXXX 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine OpenBSD XXXXXXXX 4.1 GENERIC#187 i386 systems that do not change ctime: --------------------------------- FreeBSD XXXXXXXX 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 address@hidden:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 -- Erik Rossen OpenPGP key: 2935D0B9 address@hidden If you do not know what http://people.linux-gull.ch/rossen to do, start with RTFM.
