Problem with test -r

[Nicholas J Brealey]

I seem to have deleted the crucial line in my original report.

The problems is that test -r does not return true when a file exists
and is is readable:

bash$ echo hello > xxxx
bash$ chmod og-rwx xxxx
bash$ if test -r xxxx ; then echo OK ;fi
bash$ cat xxxx
hello
bash$ ls -l xxxx
-rw-------   1 1010     everyone        7 Oct 20 16:31 xxxx
bash$


On Solaris I get:

bash$ echo hello > xxxx
bash$ chmod og-rwx xxxx
bash$  if test -r xxxx ; then echo OK ;fi
OK
bash$ cat xxxx
hello
bash$ ls -l xxxx
-rw-------   1 nick   users           6 Oct 20 17:28 xxxx
bash$ 


Sorry for any confusion caused !
