Re: [LUG] cp permission?

 

Hi again,

Just to say that I got the command to work, but I replaced the -a
option with -dpPR (which, according to the man page has the same
result).

Would still love to hear any thoughts on why cp -a failed with
permission problems though. Maybe something to do with SELinux, though
I didn't think that affected permissions!?
