Archive-name: auto/gnu.utils.bug/GNU-fileutils-3-4-released

A new release of the GNU file management programs is available for
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38], in the file
pub/gnu/fileutils-3.4.tar.Z.

The programs in the fileutils are:

chgrp chmod chown cp dd df du install ln ls mkdir mkfifo mknod mv rm
rmdir touch

mkfifo is a POSIX.2 invention that is like `mknod file p'.
tac prints files backwards.

Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix
counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer
arbitrary limits.

Major changes in release 3.4:
* cp -p and mv preserve setuid and setgid bits
* chown works on systems where sizeof(uid_t) != sizeof(int) 
  or sizeof(uid) != sizeof(gid)
* catch errors from spurious slashes at ends of arguments
