- i've got users files owned by root. I want them to be owned by a user.
When i execute the command "chown" or "chgrp" with root's privileges it says:
[root@localhost Mes images]# chown kerb fondateur.pdf
chown: changement de propriétaire pour `fondateur.pdf': Operation not permitted
Why?

- Check the read/write permissions on the file first:
# ls -la {filename}
You may have to set it so root can read/write to the file:
# chmod rw {filename}
or
# chmod 660 {filename}
Then
# chown {user} {filename}
or
# chown {user}.{group} {filename}

- Can you send the result of "ll fondateur.pdf" ? It's strange, your command
should work... Note that you can use the syntax "chown kerb:kerb
fondateur.pdf" to change both the user and group at the same time.

- rights have no impact on ownership...

- [root@localhost Mes images]# ll fondateur.pdf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root nogroup 592128 oct 2 2003 fondateur.pdf*
is that because there is nogroup?

- I have the clue : the files are on a W98SE partition. It appears that MDK can't change ownership in a FAT32 partition.
Anyway thanks to all for your good will.
