Re: RELENG_6 weird '..' permission troubles

* Yar Tikhiy <yar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [2006-02-19 13:58 +0300]:
This looks like a file-a-PR case if you are sure you didn't overlook
anything. To the best of my knowledge, the underlying mount point
permissions should affect nothing since the FS was mounted. But
you didn't show us output from "ls -la /" so please judge by yourself.

This behaviour is known and documented.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE+and+Ports&format=html

After a successful mount, the permissions on the original mount point
determine if .. is accessible from the mounted file system. The minimum
permissions for the mount point for traversal across the mount point in
both directions to be possible for all users is 0111 (execute for all).
