Hi,
I'm running GNU tar 1.5.1 on cygwin version 2.510.2.2 (Window XP).
Running tar to restore files, owner information is not preserved. That's: all restored
files are owned by SYSTEM.
I suspect that tar is not recognizing SYSTEM user on cygwin/windowXP as superuser. Does
anyone have the same experience or a workaround for it?
info tar:
`--same-owner'
Create extracted files with the same ownership they have in the
archive.
This is the default behavior for the superuser, so this option is
meaningful only for non-root users,

Thank you!
