As you can see .cvsignore has become readonly, but not debug.txh. The
share is exported readonly.


I've traced this to this part in src/libc/posix/sys/stat/lstat.c
(around line 603):

      /* File size. */
      statbuf->st_size = ff_blk.ff_fsize;

      /* Mode bits. */
      statbuf->st_mode |= READ_ACCESS;
      if ( !(ff_blk.ff_attrib & 0x07) )  /* no R, H or S bits set */
        statbuf->st_mode |= WRITE_ACCESS;

      /* Sometimes `_truename' doesn't return X:/FOO for character
         devices.  However, FindFirst returns attribute 40h for them. */
      if (ff_blk.ff_attrib == 0x40)


I don't think HIDDEN or SYSTEM attibutes should be mapped to readonly.
Thus I suggest we change "if ( !(ff_blk.ff_attrib & 0x07) )  /* no R,
H or S bits set */" to "if ( !(ff_blk.ff_attrib & 0x01) )  /* No R
bit set. */".

Comments?


Right,
