NAME

     chown - change owner



SYNOPSIS

     chown owner file ...



DESCRIPTION

     Owner becomes the new owner of the files.  The owner may  be

     either  a  decimal UID or a login name found in the password

     file.



     Only the owner of a file (or the super-user) is  allowed  to

     change  the owner.  Unless it is done by the super-user, the

     set-user-ID permission bit is turned off as the owner  of  a

     file is changed.



FILES

     /etc/passwd
