That seems like a reasonable deduction. I've made fakeroot treat EOPNOTSUPP like EACCES here. I also made it try zero openmodes if all else fails. However, I think diskfs should not return EOPNOTSUPP for this case. On Unix systems I have tried, trying to execute a device file (that has execute bits set) fails with EACCES. That seems like the appropriate error for attempting to open a symlink for execute access as well (though on Unix there is no way to attempt that). _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
