Hi Jason,

Well I had some problems on NetBSD without the g prefix for the gnu coreutils - since then I always used that prefix.

But now I have a completely different problem with the tests on solaris. It seems on solaris access() always returns 0 if a file is existant and the effective uid is 0.

so: --- snip --- #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf ("access: %d\n", access("/etc/motd", X_OK));
  return 0;
}
--- snap ---

will return 0 on solaris - when run as root, even though /etc/motd is not executeable. This seems to break hooks on Solaris - but I'm not sure if this is only a Solaris Express bug. (I have no Solaris 10 system to verify it)

bye

Stefan
