Dear bug report team,
I think I have noticed a bug within tar 1.26 Rel 35.el7
the man page of tar tells us, that
-p, --preserve-permissions
extract information about file permissions (default for superuser)
It seems that the default for superuser is stronger than the parameter --user=soa --group=soa
But I don't think that the parameters should be ignored, if provided, even by root?!
