RFR: JDK-7065902 - (file) test/java/nio/file/Files/Misc.java fails on Solaris 11 when run as root

2013-11-21 Thread Dan Xu 

Hi All,

Please review the simple fix towards test/java/nio/file/Files/Misc.java. 
It only fails when it is run by root. As Alan commented in the bug, the 
root has all permissions, so the test assumptions are wrong. Thanks!

This looks okay although it's possible for users other than root to be a 
superuser. I think we have at least one other test that checks if 
/etc/passwd is writable as a crude indication as to whether the test is 
being run by root or not.
