dired with `alR' switches fails with `other' permission


From: Robert J. Chassell
Subject: dired with `alR' switches fails with `other' permission
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2003 11:34:17 -0400 (EDT)

Today's CVS snapshot, Fri, 2003 Aug  1  12:23 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.17 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
configured
    --with-type1
    --prefix=/usr/local
    --with-sound=yes

When run on a root-owned directory with permissions

    drwxr-xr-x

by a non-root user, dired with the optional SWITCHES arguments `alR'
fails with this error message:

    insert-directory: Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked

Since the permissions permit `other' to access and read files in the
directory (and in subdirectories), the command should succeed.

The command succeeds when run without the optional SWITCHES arguments.
Also, the command succeeds when run on a directory owned by the same
user.
