Hi folks,

Looking for a codereview for a spec change in jdk8. In summary, when a java application is run as root it can perform file operations regardless of the permissions attributed to that file. I.e. canExecute, canRead, canWrite would return true even though the File may not have those permissions set. webrev at: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~robm/6931128/webrev.01/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Erobm/6931128/webrev.01/> Thanks, -Rob Thanks for taking this one, the changes looks good to me.

-Alan.
