I'm ASSuMing that is the process by the "--same-owner" switch on tar:
? ? tar --same-owner -cjpsvf /tmp/var.tar.bz2 /var

I was just trying that out on my system. I uh, heh heh, thought you had to 
replace "same-owner" with a REAL name... ;-0) but after looking at man tar, 
found out what it means!
