FreeBSD RELENG_4 error?!

[Igor S.Savchyk]

Hello, All!

For the beginning there is some comparison of behaviour various of OS:


$ echo readable >try_read_me
$ chmod 0333 try_read_me

$ uname -a
SunOS sundae 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
$ cat try_read_me
readable

$ uname -a
SunOS sun 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied

$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
$ cat try_read_me
readable

$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied

$ uname -sr
Linux 2.4.20-athlon
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied

$ uname -sr
Linux 2.2.19-servers
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied

$uname -sr
HP-UX B.11.11
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied


So, whether somebody can explain me behaviour of FreeBSD 4.x ? ;-)
