That's the point. Users only can use chown if they have the user
right "Restore files and directories". That right is only given to
the groups "Administrators" and "Backup Operators" by default.
That's ...similar... to Unix systems.

And chmod is ok to use for all users as long as they have the
permission to do so. But my instruction was buggy. Ok, *sic*,
try that:

chmod 755 .
chmod -R 755 bin
find learn_c src -type d | xargs chmod 755
find learn_c src tmp -type f | xargs chmod 644
