The following reply was made to PR kern/39329; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Lyndon Nerenberg <lyndon@orthanc.ab.ca> To: Serge van den Boom <svdb@stack.nl> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/39329 '..' at mountpoint is subject to the permissions of the shadowed dir Date: Sun, 06 Oct 2002 20:08:32 -0600 I don't disagree with you. I, too, think the behaviour is a bit strange. However, it has survived through at least one complete re-implementation of namei and the filesystems (i.e. BSD), which makes me wonder if there is a valid reason for the behaviour. Kirk McKusick is probably one of the few people who can answer that question. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
