CHOWN(8)                GENIX Programmer's Manual                CHOWN(8)



      NAME
           chown, chgrp - change owner or group

      SYNOPSIS
           /etc/chown owner file ...

           /etc/chgrp group file ...

      DESCRIPTION
           Chown changes the owner of the files to owner.   The  owner  may  be
           either a decimal UID or a login name found in the password file.

           Chgrp changes the group-ID of the files to group.  The group may  be
           either a decimal GID or a group name found in the group-ID file.

           Only the super-user can change owner or group, in order to  simplify
           as yet unimplemented accounting procedures.

      FILES
           /etc/passwd
           /etc/group
