            Bug ID: 223529
           Summary: makewhatis ignores read permission errors on
                    directories
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: wosch at FreeBSD.org

I run makewhatis on a man directory without read permissions. It ignored the
error and reported a successful error status 0.

How to repeat:

$ mkdir man man/man1
$ cp /usr/share/man/man1/cat.1.gz man/man1
$ chmod u-r man
$ makewhatis man
$ echo $?

On FreeBSD 10 the result is as expected:

makewhatis: man: Permission denied
1
