I don't know if :
- This is the right place to report it
- It is a bug 

I am having strange chown behaviour

all the operations below are done as root
-------------------------------------------------------
I first try it whith restrict chown to 1

fs.xfs.stats_clear = 0
fs.xfs.sync_interval = 30000
fs.xfs.error_level = 3
fs.xfs.panic_mask = 0
fs.xfs.irix_symlink_mode = 0
fs.xfs.irix_sgid_inherit = 0
fs.xfs.restrict_chown = 1
marco:/dvdrip# touch test
marco:/dvdrip# chown marc test
chown: changing ownership of `test': Operation not permitted
-----------------------------------------------------
then with restrict chown to 0
marco:/dvdrip# touch test
marco:/dvdrip# chown marc test
marco:/dvdrip# chown root test
chown: changing ownership of `test': Operation not permitted


I don't think this is a normal behaviour (in either case), but the restrict 
chown is confusing me a little bit ...



Meanwhile, I'm going to install 2.6.0-test2... :)
