Hi Folks: I am trying to change the ownership on some files in a Qmail installation, on a FC3 server. I am logged in as root, and when I issue the chown root:root -R bin command, I get an error that says that changing ownership is not permitted Here's a snip of the output [root@srvweb-02 vpopmail]# chown root:root -R bin chown: changing ownership of `bin': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vkill': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vmoddomlimits': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vdeloldusers': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vdeluser': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vsetuserquota': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vaddaliasdomain': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vadddomain': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vpopbull': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vadduser': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vuserinfo': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vdeldomain': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/valias': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vdelivermail': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vmkpasswd': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/dotqmail2valias': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vdominfo': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vmoduser': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vpasswd': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vipmap': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vchkpw': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vconvert': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/clearopensmtp': Operation not permitted chown: changing ownership of `bin/vchangepw': Operation not permitted [root@srvweb-02 vpopmail]# As far as I know (how do I check for sure?)
