However, my suggestion was intended to benefit future programmers in the case where eaccess() doesn't get added for a while. Imagine the poor bastard who tries to figure that code out when we _do_ have eaccess(). :-) "Huh? Am I on crack? Why not just use eaccess()?" Again, this is an issue of FreeBSD culture as opposed to what works right here, right now. Ciao, Sheldon.
