Hi All,

why, when either using, tar --directory=dirpath -xzvf tarfilepath or tar -xzvf tarfilepath the owner ship is like below,

drwxr-xr-x   7 52400 24067 4.0K Mar  4 20:24 phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3

The downloaded files are saved in the dir, downloads, by the general user, coolboarderguy. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
