--- Comment #1 from John Marshall <john.marsh...@riverwillow.com.au> ---
Confirmed independently on -stable@
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2014-October/080685.html
The scenario of traversal-only access to the parent directory is common in a
situation where the directory contains per-user subdirectories, and each user
has no business knowing about any subdirectory but his own.
The archive generated is fine, the user has full permission to the directory
being archived, but tar(1) exits with an error status.
I regard this regression as a bug.
i'll bite very interesting
is the error on tar or utar ? i assume you mean on tar -c but be
specific
is this new or do older version NOT do this? if so please state the
right and wrong tar versions.
also i need a firm permission basis. just because you are in same
group may not be the same as owning (w/respect to utar, not tar) and
if your using any "kernel extended permissions" (tar obviously uses
only unix file security / bits. it stores file perms also user # in
tar header)
i don't see any follow-ups just the initial comlaint, did this
complain expire ?
