Changing?  By default, the vast majority of  the modules in /usr/OV/bin are
shipped  as belonging to bin, and always have been (pardon the pun).   A
few seem to be shipped as root, though they belong to processes I don't
work on, so I cannot tell you why.   But unless you install an efix, I
wouldn't expect them to ever change, and certainly not automatically,
unless the root user changes them (not a good idea from where I sit).  Of
course, if you install an efix, and then upgrade, the efix would get
overlaid with a new module belonging to bin.  Is this what you are seeing?

Hi all,

I remember this being discussed some time ago. Every so often, I notice
that the files in my /usr/OV/bin directory have had their ownership changed
from root to bin. What is causing this?

Thanks
