Hi,

Is there a way in AFS I can find out what permissions a user has on a 
particular directory? 'fs listacl' gives only the explicit rights gives 
to a particular user (or group), but not the rights derived from group 
memberships. There's an access() function in UNIX to check access to 
file or pathnames but it works only for R, W and X modes. Is there any 
similar interface for AFS?

Thanks,
Priyank
