fcopy

[Janning Vygen]

Hi, 

i have read the fcopy man page and didn't find a hint on the following 
problem:

If i fcopy a file which is alread there with same content, but the file in 
SOURCE has other file access permissions, why it is not copied?

I even tried to set the permissions with -m but no way. If the file is given 
and has the same content, nothing is copied but "preserved" as fcopy states.

I would expect fcopy to copy the file if anything like content or permissions 
has changed. Ok, it is somewhat explaind in the -p option but i don't have a 
changelog file.

I have no nfsroot and no cvs, i just rsync my /fai to the remote server and 
run 'fai -N softupdate'. And if i change file access permissions they are not 
copied which is bad in my opinion.

Why does fcopy compares files only literally? 

kind regards
Janning
