Sirs,
Using tar --no-same-owner -xzf filename.tgz causes unusual behavior depending on who I am logged in as.
1) If I am logged in as root then the extraced files are owned by root, and group owner is also root.
2) If I am logged in as myself (nickt) then the extracted files are owned by root and the group owner is myself (nickt).
I am using tar version 1.13.17 which comes as standard with REdHat. 6.2.
What I would like is to extract the files and have the new files owned by myself.
Is this possible.
Regards
Nick Thomas.
