I seem to have deleted the crucial line in my original report.
The problems is that test -r does not return true when a file exists
and is is readable:
bash$ echo hello > xxxx
bash$ chmod og-rwx xxxx
bash$ if test -r xxxx ; then echo OK ;fi
bash$ cat xxxx
hello
bash$ ls -l xxxx
-rw------- 1 1010 everyone 7 Oct 20 16:31 xxxx
bash$
On Solaris I get:
bash$ echo hello > xxxx
bash$ chmod og-rwx xxxx
bash$ if test -r xxxx ; then echo OK ;fi
OK
bash$ cat xxxx
hello
bash$ ls -l xxxx
-rw------- 1 nick users 6 Oct 20 17:28 xxxx
bash$
Sorry for any confusion caused !
