| 21 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | The B<pts chown> command designates the user or group named by the | |
| 24 | B<-owner> argument as the owner of the group named by the B<-name> | |
| 25 | argument, and records the new owner in the owner field of the group's | |
| 26 | Protection Database entry. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | In the case of regular groups, this command automatically changes the | |
| 29 | group name's owner prefix (the part of the group name before the colon) to | |
| 30 | match the new owner. If the new owner is itself a group, then only its | |
| 31 | owner prefix, not its complete name, becomes the owner prefix in the new | |
| 32 | name. The change to the owner prefix does not propagate to any groups | |
| 33 | owned by the group, however. To make the owner prefix of such group-owned | |
| 34 | groups reflect the new owning group, use the B<pts rename> command. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | It is not possible to change a user or machine entry's owner from the | |
| 37 | default set at creation time, the system:administrators group. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | =head1 CAUTIONS | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | While designating a machine as a group's owner does not cause an error, it | |
| 42 | is not recommended. The Protection Server does not extend the usual | |
| 43 | privileges of group ownership to users logged onto the machine. | |
| 44 | ||

| 61 | =head1 EXAMPLES | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | The following example changes the owner of the group C<terry:friends> from | |
| 64 | the user C<terry> to the user C<pat>. A side effect is that the group name | |
| 65 | changes to C<pat:friends>. | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | % pts chown -name terry:friends -owner pat | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | The following example changes the owner of the group C<terry:friends> from | |
| 70 | the user C<terry> to the group C<pat:buddies>. A side effect is that the | |
| 71 | group name changes to C<pat:friends>. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | % pts chown -name terry:friends -owner pat:buddies | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED | |
