Bug: `cpio' does not work when it can't open one of it's parent directories. Repeat-by: $ id uid=104(ccea3) gid=101(cce) $ cd /tmp $ mkdir tst1; cd tst1 $ mkdir tst2; cd tst2 $ chgrp bin .. $ chown bin .. $ pwd /tmp/tst1/tst2 $ touch bugs.cpio $ cpio -itv < bugs.cpio sh: pwd: cannot open .. $ ls -ld . .. drwxr-x--- 2 ccea3 cce 32 May 31 22:04 . drwxr-x--- 3 bin bin 48 May 31 22:04 .. `cpio' should only display the contents of the file "bugs.cpio", but it can't open one of its parent directories and the file's contents will not be displayed. Has this been fixed in any release? (On System V.3.1 it still isn't.) Adri verhoef, mcvax!rivm!a3
