Evaluation:

It seems on this system, being an owner of a directory does not automatically grants a user every privileged action on it. A chmod is still needed.

Description:

sun/net/www/protocol/file/DirPermissionDenied.sh has these lines:

mkdir -p ${TESTDIR}
chmod 333 ${TESTDIR}
...
rm -rf ${TESTDIR}

On one of SQE's test machines the "rm -rf" fails saying "cannot open directory...: Permission denied". The machine is a --

$ uname -a Linux sc14160057 2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jan 4 07:38:47 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ arch i686 $ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)

It seems this system needs a read access to rm, even if called by the owner.

The test runs fine on other systems.

Thanks Max
