...will always be a bullshit operating system:
$ echo "Hello world" > hello.text
$ ls -l hello.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 amcleod anjo 6 Aug 13 15:27 hello.text
chown freddy hello.text
chown: hello.text: Operation not permitted
$ man chown
CHOWN(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual CHOWN(8)
NAME
chown - change file owner and group
. . .
The ownership of a file may only be altered by a super-user for obvious
security reasons.
What rubbish! So the OWNER of the file is not allowed to give it to someone
else? WTF is write permissions for if not to decide who can modify the file,
such as changing ownership?
