I suggest we instead try to see why the code wants to check file access before
attempting to open a file (if that is what it does), and if possible just try
to get rid of such checks.
I very much doubt even access() can get it right in all circumstances. For
instance, surely mounting volumes from Windows servers on Unix clients is much
more common than using OpenAFS or Linux ACLs. Does acess() work correctly if
the file has some funky ACL on the SMB side?
Isn't it in general wrong to try to check if something is possible before doing
it? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-check-to-time-of-use . Instead,
just try to do what you want to do (like open a file for reading or writing),
and if it doesn't succeed, fail gracefully at that point.
