- I'm using tar-1.11.1 on a DECstation under Ultrix 4.2 and I'm finding
- that directory ownerships/modes don't get restored (i.e. when running
- as root and with -p). Instead directories are created with owner root
- and mode 700. Files are restored properly.
-
- Anybody have a fix for this? Please?
-
- Are we going to see a bug-fix release for tar any time soon? A tar
- 1.11.2 would be nice... I know quite a few serious bugs have been
- reported since 1.11.1 was released in September.
