you could start by reading the 'chown' man page.Quote:>how can i change the configuration option _POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRCTED under

The operating system has a configuration option
{_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED}, to restrict ownership changes.
When this option is in effect the owner of the file is
prevented from changing the owner ID of the file. Only the
super-user can arbitrarily change owner IDs whether or not
this option is in effect. To set this configuration option,
include the following line in /etc/system:
set rstchown = 1
To disable this option, include the following line in
/etc/system:
set rstchown = 0
{_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED} is enabled by default. See sys-
tem(4) and fpathconf(2).

1. HELP! How to change _POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED?
Can anybody please tell me how to change the "_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED"
parameter in a Solaris (SunOs 5.4) system. This is the parameter
that doesn't let you give a file away using "chown".
The only thing I could find is in the "Standard Conformance Guide",
where it mentions that this parameter "depends on the underlying
file system type".
Please send email.
regards,
joe
