Ok, I have now a reliable test case. make install in the Hurd source makes it fail with EPERM (which I meant rather than ENOPERM) every time, but at different places. It fails when creating a file, creating symlink, changing the mode. Maybe at other situations, too. We will have to look at the authentification code. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
