There is no need to use libacl, even postfix does not use libacl. The effective permissions used by the kernel should be available the system calls accessing the files (not only open() but also stat() and lstat()).
I recognize that The Right Thing is done on open(O_RDWR) and access(W_OK), but I fail to see how stat() does it. It is not a write operation and therefore will succeed in most cases. That is why I think checking "I have write permissions" is better done using access() rather than stat() and &S_IWUGO. /disk1 is just a directory below /, /home is a mount, as is /hit160/home (see comment #0). All filesystems are xfs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
