Sorry about this rather informal email, but I was having an issue with a
patch to mod-perl that appears to have been submitted/commited by you.
But please post any question re: Apache-Test to the test-dev list. Thank you.
It modified the file Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestRun.pm to use 'su' instead of 'sudo'.
My version of 'su' (slackware 9.0 Linux) does not appear to like the '-m' flag for su, nor does the man page list any such flag. The alteration works fine if the 'm' is removed (leaving the '-').
I am suggesting the change; if I am wrong or you need a different format, please let me know.
Sorry about that, Joe. I thought it was portable.
Anybody knows a portable way to su to a different user and check whether a given dir is rwx by that user? The only alternative solution I can think of is to traverse the whole path and check the perms on each directory. which involves checking of whether the user belongs to the group the dirs are permitted to rxw. Can that be made portable?

my $check = qq[su - $user -c '$perl -e ] .
I'm quite sure that it won't work on some other platform/distro :(
