The following reply was made to PR kern/1399; it has been noted by GNATS.

That should not really matter at all. Look at the following: j@uncle 51% ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -rws--x--x 1 root bin 155648 Jun 2 11:05 /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm* This is clearly not readable by the invoker unless he is already superuser (which i am not). It can be executed nevertheless. Ah, i think i see where the difference is: my xterm is _executable_ by UID nobody as well. . . Yep, if i remove the x bit for the world, it fails as well. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
