This may be in violation of POSIX [1] but that's irrelevant for this bug report. When ls -R encounters a directory without reading permission, it outputs the resulting EACCES. This even happens for directories which are never listed by ls -R anyway due to their names beginning with a dot, which causes ls to output spurious warnin= gs. To reproduce, in an empty directory do: mkdir .a chmod a-r .a ls -R . The following output results: $ ls -R .=20 ls: ./.a: Permission denied If .a was readable, ls -R would not list it either, so the error message se= ems wrong.
