The "bug" listed in the chtim man page is not a bug: there is no file creation time stamp in the Unix file system. The "ctime" field that stat reports is the "last change to inode" time, used for systemy things like backups. (Perhaps it once *was* the create time; I don't see how it could be so thorougly misdocumented otherwise. But dump must know when the file was "chmod"ed or even "utimes"ed, so that restore can put those changes back.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
