Unrestrict chown?



Hi!

On my debian box using linux kernel its not possible to give away files:

madroach@machine:~% touch foo
madroach@machine:~% chown otheruser foo
chown: changing ownership of `foo': Operation not permitted

only root can change file owners. Is it possible to configure this
behaviour and allow all users to chown their own files? I read this was
possible on solaris and several other unices and wonder if it is
possible with linux.
