How to resrtict users from executing chown command?

[Upul Edirisinghe]

I tried to restrict users in users group from executing chown command as follows.

chacl "%.users -x" /usr/bin/chown

But, I got the message
"chacl: file "/usr/bin/chown" : Function is not available (errno =251).

What has happened? How can I success?

Hi,
Have you verified the file system in which you are issuing this command is HFS .I remember only the latest version of vxfs 3.3 supports acl.

If your OS don't allow vxfs yet, you can use the following command to abandon usage on "chown"

setprivgrp -n CHOWN
