Mark,

I am now running one of my systems at my law office. Most of the files have the
attributes set for both the owner and public read and write. On some of the
files the modification date is important for backup purposes. I began to notice
that the modification dates got out of sync and eventually figured out it was
when the user who did not own the file updated it. (At the office, neither my
secretary or I run as super user.)

I checked this out on my system here and confirmed that an update by a person
with write permission only updates the file date if the person is also the
owner.

The version of RBF I run is $10 with a CRC of $C199E8. It is circa 1983 and
purchased from Smoke Signal Broadcasting.

For further information you might ask Carl Kreider. He has a revised version of
RBF which he did and gave me a copy of years ago.  It does not reflect the bug
described above.

Hope this helps.

Ken
