Preserving date and ownership when untar ?
 

Hi Guys


I am trying to tar the Maildir dir of users with
#tar -cvf Maildir.tar Maildir


I wants to know how to preserve the date and the owners ship of the file when untar it

Thanks
Talat

Have a look at `man tar` - does the -p option (also called --same-permissions, --preserve-permissions) do what you want?
