It's not enough to check that the dir is rwx by user or all, but need to check also whether 'nobody' is in the group which is rwx. As we may have:
drwx------ nobody whatever /foo # explicit group match drwxrwx--- whatever nobody /foo # explicit group match drwxrwx--- whatever web /foo # is nobody in the group 'web' drwxrwxrwx whatever whatever /foo # always good
Also we may have to deal with .acl filesystems supporting .acl where the above logic won't apply. Therefore I came up with a very trivial test not relying on any external apps (and hopefully this time portable) and filesystem perms specs:
perl -e 'require POSIX; POSIX::setuid(65534); POSIX::setgid(65534); \
print -r q{/tmp} && -w _ && -x _ ? q{OK} : q{NOK}; 'Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I've committed this solution, so you can try with the current cvs.
