@GeoffR:

OS X's chmod version doesn't seem to support the reference flag, so I'd go with a stat+chmod combo, something like:

Code:

chmod $(stat -f %Lp OLDFILE) NEWFILE

(And, yes, stat is also wildly different from the Linux version, where that would look like stat -c %a OLDFILE)

Reason: %a doesn't include the sticky bits, so kill the %Mp from the OS X example to make them match
