Directories without read and execute permissions are incorrectly handled

[mjw]

I am porting quilt to haiku, and I have come across the following problem. If you execute the following 3 lines in a bash prompt: mkdir directory chmod a-rx directory cd directory

then "cd directory" succeeds. I believe it should fail with a permission errror.

This is expected behavior, for the simple reason that, Haiku being single-user, you are always root and thus always have permission. Execute the above commands as root on linux or FreeBSD and you'll see the exact same result.

Alternatively, you can create another non-root user in Haiku (using the "useradd" command), log in as that user, and it should return the expected results.
