>Description:
Hello all,
I'm trying to change the UID of file created with a script, but I get "chown: 
file: Not owner".
I have the file and the script:
/www/cgi-bin> ls -l
total 2
-rwxr-xr-x   1 www      www          175 Mar 16 09:49 cambio.cgi*
-rw-r--r--   1 www      www            0 Mar 16 09:36 prueba

cambio.cgi contains:
/www/cgi-bin> cat cambio.cgi
#!/bin/sh
chown gaspari:webmail prueba
echo Content-Type: text/plain
echo
....

HTTPD is running as www:www

The script runs fine, but i can't get chown work. Does anyone known what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!!

Cristian
