Not on the final directory component.

That does behave like coreutils > install: No. To demonstrate this, you have to create a nontrivial hierarchy: $ uname -r 5.9 $ mkdir y $ cd y $ chmod g+ws . $ /usr/sbin/install -d -m 0755 a/b directory a/b created $ ls -dgo a a/b drwxr-sr-x 3 175 Dec 16 23:45 a/ drwxr-xr-x 2 117 Dec 16 23:45 a/b/ $ But your point is valid. Changing the permissions on the final component does make more sense. You're welcome to do that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
