Hi,
According to bsdtar(1) manpage, tar has a --gname switch that permits
to set an arbitrary groupname in the tar archive, but:
$ tar -cf test.tar --gname root test.sh
tar: Option --gname is not supported
Usage:
List: tar -tf <archive-filename>
Extract: tar -xf <archive-filename>
Create: tar -cf <archive-filename> [filenames...]
Help: tar --help
I get the same error for --uname and --gid switches. I'm running
9.0-BETA3 (r226421). Did those switches used to work in previous
releases of FreeBSD ?
Regards,
Romain
