I can't reproduce this problem on my Solaris 9 host, where coreutils 6.7 was compiled with GCC 4.1.1. What filesystem are you using? Is it local or NFS? Are you running as root? Can you use 'truss' to see what's going on? Something like this: PATH=/wherever/coreutils-6.7/src:$PATH export PATH mkdir -p sub1/d cd sub1/d chmod a-rx .. truss chmod a-r . and then see what the last few lines of 'truss' have to say. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
