>Description:
The following are now very overdue MFC's:
r1.17 and r1.18 of src/usr.sbin/chown/chown.c
- Follow symbolic links named as command line arguments without -R.
- chown -h owner symlink did not set the symlink's owner
if the file the symlink points to already had that owner
r1.20 r1.21 and r1.22 of src/bin/chmod/chmod.c
- Follow symbolic links named as command line arguments without -R
- Change noop option -h to do the real work.
- chmod -h mode symlink did not set the symlink's mode
if the file the symlink points to already had that mode
r1.11 of src/usr.bin/chflags/chflags.c
- Follow symbolic links named as command line arguments without -R
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Attention to these permission-related details would be appreciated!
Please arrange MFC.
Note that there is no lchflags syscall, so changing symlink
flags is not an issue (subject of an existing open PR).
