Subject: bug in globber?
Date: Sat, 22 May 1993 13:13:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9305221713.AA03079@oldp.astro.wisc.edu> (raw)
rc doesn't seem to be able to glob through a directory without having
read permission; sh can.
; mkdir foo
; echo foo/../foo*
foo/../foo
; chmod u-r foo
; echo foo/../foo*
foo/../foo*
; sh
$ echo foo/../foo*
foo/../foo
$ sh5
$ echo foo/../foo*
foo/../foo
$
This is under Ultrix 4.3, so /bin/sh is a creaky old v7 sh and /bin/sh5
is the SVR2 sh. And, no, the shs aren't running setuid root!
Alan.
