>Description:
	The pax documentation with regard to preserving file attributes
	appears to have fallen out of date with respect to its behavior.
	The pax man page states that -o preserves file ownerships and -p
	preserves the access time, but in fact -o is used for "format-
	specific options" and -p takes an argument specifying what file
	attributes to preserve.

>How-To-Repeat:
	pax -ro file.tar
