You can't either write them out in a readable state to begin with (umode, etc.) or integrate the relevant chown/chgrp/chmod into whatever generates them? -Jeremy _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
