RE: cp -p : timestamp NOT preserved (coreutils 6.9, Linux)

[Graf, Peter]

Additional info to my former mail:

1) My former mail contained a small inconsistency (after anonymizing the 
user name).  The following messages   show the problem in a consistent 
way (username, home-directory name):

...
prompt%  cp -p ~/.cshrc ~/tmp/.cshrc
prompt%  ls -l ~/.cshrc ~/tmp/.cshrc
-rwxr-x--- 1 pg mygroup 2180 Jan 19  2007 /home/pg/.cshrc
-rwxr-x--- 1 pg mygroup 2180 Oct 31 14:46 /home/pg/tmp/.cshrc
Timestamp was NOT preserved.

2) I did NOT see this bug on a solaris machine with gnu 
copy-coreutils-6.9, acting on the same NFS directory /home/pg/tmp/.

3) Maybe this bug is similar to bug #340236 ,  that was reported for an 
earlier  corutils version. I saw this too late.
