Are you sure this is still the case?
We are running AIX3.2 and AFS3.2 and have notice a change in the
behavior of the l permission. Now users with just "l" seem to be able
to stat the directory entry (ie. can issue an ls -al) and can execute
the program, though they still cannot open the file for read.
Is this the intended behavior of "l" ? This was not always the case.
Back on AFS3,1 we could not do an "ls -al" on a file unless the we had
"r" access to the dir.
