Karthik Kambatla commented on HDFS-5033:
----------------------------------------
On Linux (POSIX), this is what I see:
{noformat}
kasha@keka:~/code/hadoop-trunk (trunk)$ ls -l testfile
-rw------- 1 root root 8 Jul 29 18:31 testfile
kasha@keka:~/code/hadoop-trunk (trunk)$ cat testfile
cat: testfile: Permission denied
{noformat}
When accessing local files/dirs through HDFS, the behavior should be the same
as when using local file system directly.
