Am I missing something or is chown missing? I get a man page for it, but can't find the executable.

Also has anyone else notived misleading man pages, e.g. 'man route' doesn't agree with what you get if you actually try to you /sbin/route, e.g. '/sbin/route show' doesn't work, tho' the man page claims it should.
 
Hi,

i do not know anything about that "chown"-issue. Works fine with me ;-)
Some unix-apps do not have all options on all builds. I.e. "top" lacks the option to sort the display on Darwin.

chown is located in /usr/sbin.

Many times, the default PATH for users does NOT include
that or /sbin because those are administrator type commands
and not really usable by the unwashed masses of users.

If that is the case, just add it to the PATH
