Wrong again. The problems with access() and what one should do instead of using access(), have been hashed out some 15 years since. These include what one should do in order to be properly portable, which includes *not* simply assuming that group IDs work in only one way. I repeat my recommendation to read Bugtraq. der Mouse, Jeremy Epstein, and others have already covered this ground, *years ago*. ST> Then please tell that to gcc people, not me.
