chown / chgrp

[Anon]

Hey :

I'm trying to create directories via my web interface on my solaris server,
i use mkdir with 0777 permission, then i change the group to desired group using chgrp, but when i try to change the owner of the directory (which by default is 'nobody') - it does not perform the desired action...

and this creates problems in my file uploads that happen to this created directory (as owner of the directory is 'nobody' it won't allow)

how do i change the owner of directory ???

thanks

You can't--not without being 'root', that is. But I don't understand
why being owned by user 'nobody' is a problem--that same 'nobody'
is also the owner of the file-upload process, so what permission
problem are you having?
