Have a zip drive.
It is mounted at /misc/zip/
On it is a directory: /Scripts/wake/ and I want to
change the ownership-Group of all the files in that
directory. Got the command right and was told, for
each file, &quot;Operation not permitted.&quot;
So I tried to back out a bit and change the permissions
on the zip platter itself.
the directory is currently listed this way:

drwxrwxr-x    6 nobody   users       16384 Dec 31  1969 zip

so I tried while in the /misc directory (as root):
chown kilpatms.users * 
and once again was told &quot;Operation not permitted.&quot;

What's happening is that when I copy files (that have the
correct permissions) from the hard drive to the zip platter
[giving me a backup] the perms are changed from kilpatms-kilpatms
to nobody-users.  I need to have the perms remain unchanged.

How can I fix this?

Sean
