Dear Managers,
I got around 32 replies. Out of which I am forwarding the most useful
reply.
Thanks to all others who took their precious time to write to me.
[Btw, I got one real arrogant and sarcastic reply too from this mailing
list which I had never experienced in the past 5 years! Never mind!]
Regards,
-Kennedy

Hi !
You need to add the following line to your /etc/system file to use POSIX
enabled chown :
set rstchown 0
After which you will need to do the following for a reconfig reboot :
# touch /reconnfigure
# init 6
This seting will allow you to give ownesrhip to other UID's/GID's ...
regards
Rahul Roy
