Subject: 1.3.5 cp/permissions bug
I'm running 1.3.5 on Win2K
The cp command doesn't seem to understand permissions correctly. See
following example:
Administrator@SCANNER$ cd /tmp
Administrator@SCANNER$ touch foo
Administrator@SCANNER$ chmod 000 foo
Administrator@SCANNER$ ls -l
total 0
---------- 1 Administ None 0 Nov 21 13:34 foo
Administrator@SCANNER$ cp foo foo1
cp: `foo.exe' and `foo1' are the same file
Doing the same on a Solaris box gets the error:
cp: can not open foo: Permission denied
