Description of problem:
bash -x condtional expression primitive is broken for root
it tests true for files that don't have execute permission

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1./etc/auto.misc defaults to 644 permissions
2. AS root run, if [ -x /etc/auto.misc ]; echo "true" ; fi
3.
	

Actual Results:  # if [ -x /etc/auto.misc ]; echo "true" ; fi
true
#

Expected Results:  # if [ -x /etc/auto.misc ]; echo "true" ; fi
#

comamnd should have just returned

Additional info:

This bug seems to effectively break the auto.misc autofs map for autofs

Comment 1 Nate Pearlstein 2002-06-21 16:39:43 UTC
the bug seems to only occur on xfs filesystems
I suppose that means I need to tell the xfs people and not redhat.
Sorry

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-08-30 01:16:46 UTC
The workaround for bug #66562 in bash 2.05b-6 should fix this as well (though
xfs should be fixed as well).



Comment 3 Eric Sandeen 2002-08-30 01:48:41 UTC
FYI - This has been fixed in XFS as well.
