- I just transferred a bunch of files from an RT using
-
- remsh remote_sys "tar cf - /home" | tar xf -
-
- and all the directories were restored with permission rwxr-sr-x. Can anyone
- tell me why this happened? More importantly now, does setgid permission
- for a directory actually do anything? Please email and I will summarize.
