Hi everyone,
Running these commands:
~$ touch test
~$ chmod 4644 test
~$ ls -l test
-rwSr--r-- 1 frank frank 0 26 nov 19.56 test
~$ sudo chown root:root /home/frank/test
~$ ls -l test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 26 nov 19.56 test
As you can see the setuid bit of the "test" file has gone after running
the "chown" command. The reason is explained here ¹ I'm interested in a
workaround to prevent this behavior.
Is it possible to change the group owner keeping the permissions of the
file in its place?
Thanks in advance, kind regards.
