https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206192 Bug ID: 206192 Summary: ls -R warns about EACCES on directories it's not going to list anyway Product: Base System Version: 10.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: fuz@fuz.su The FreeBSD implementation of ls -R decides to omit directories from recurs= ive listing which are omitted from listing anyway. This may be in violation of POSIX [1] but that's irrelevant for this bug report. When ls -R encounters a directory without reading permission, it outputs the resulting EACCES. This even happens for directories which are never listed by ls -R anyway due to their names beginning with a dot, which causes ls to output spurious warnin= gs. To reproduce, in an empty directory do: mkdir .a chmod a-r .a ls -R . The following output results: $ ls -R .=20 ls: ./.a: Permission denied If .a was readable, ls -R would not list it either, so the error message se= ems wrong.
