Change owner
 

I found the user can change the file owner on UNIX box , but can't in Linux,
eg. ( On UNIX )
# whoami
UserA
# ll
-rw-rw-rw- userA ACC abc.prn
# chown UserB:ACC abc.prn
#ll
-rw-rw-rw- userB ACC abc.prn

(On Linux)
do the same thing,
# chown UserB:ACC abc.prn
chown: changing ownership of `./abc.prn': Operation not permitted

How to let the user to change the ownership to other ID? Thx.

Okay, this time try it as root :)

I didn't have any trouble...

Yes, root is okay, but i would like to let user to change it by themself, what can they do? thx.

Apparently nothing, can't change either users or groups as a user.
