[OpenAFS-devel] handling of file-permissions of client 1.3.84

[Christof Hanke]

Hi,

I'm just writing this to the list as well in case not all members read 
the bug-tracker.

Maybe someone has seen it as well and already knows the solution. Or 
maybe it is something SuSE-related.
Note the change of error from "Permission denied" to  "No such file or 
directory"

Christof

copy of ticket #19205 :

Version: OpenAFS-1.3.84
OS : Linux (SuSE 9.2, kernel 2.6.8-24.14)

When a stat() is issued on a file without the proper access rights, the 
file becomes inaccessible even if the required token is obtained.
This did not happen with client v. 1.3.79


Christof

Example :
(Note: "ls" is  aliased so that it does a real stat() on each file to 
set the rigth colours!)
