Hi
I intend to commit the attached patch to realpath(3) unless
there are objections.
Currently realpath(3) return an error if current directory
is unreadable.

With the attached patch one get
k@numeri ~/realpathtes/realpathtest >/home/builds/home/k/FreeBSD-src/current/src/bin/realpath/realpath /home
/home
k@numeri ~/realpathtes/realpathtest >
The problem is in libc not in bin/realpath.
The patch to correct this is from PR 12244.
The attached patch also changes realpath(3) to use strlcpy instead
of strncpy (submitted by imp@). Accordning to strncpy(3) it is
preferable to use strlcpy when portablility isn't an issue.
I would like to know if this is ok to commit as well.
Please have a look at the attached patch and let me know if
you find any problems with it.
Take care
