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

[Robert J. Chassell]

    Does this still fail for you?

No, Emacs now works successfully.

This was the report:

       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... 

I just checked.  

    emacs -q --no-site-file --eval '(blink-cursor-mode 0)

now works, using 

       Today's CVS snapshot, Sat, 2003 Dec 27 19:19 UTC
       GNU Emacs 21.3.50.166 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.2.4)
       configured
           --with-type1
           --with-x-toolkit=gtk
           --prefix=/usr/local
           --with-sound=yes
  
[note this instance was configured with GTK]

So, success!  Thank you.
