Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi - I have a script (.ksh) which has been transferred from one Linux box to another. Basically it untars a file a deploys the code to the relevent directories. It is failing with ' Cannot utime: Operation not permitted'

When I run the command by hand it *is* doing the untar to the directories but for each directory I get the message as above. The files are extracted but they are all set to r only

Any one have any ideas

Any advice or guidance would be most appreciated

It'll be the tarball or your local version of tar. The tarball is trying to set a file attibute that you dont have permission to set. Try checking out your tar manpage to find a flag to work silently.
