The AFS_ACE_READ and AFS_ACE_WRITE permission bits should not be used to make access decisions for the directory itself. They are meant to control access for the objects contained in that directory. Reading a directory is allowed if the AFS_ACE_LOOKUP bit is set. This would cause an incorrect access denied error for a directory with AFS_ACE_LOOKUP but not AFS_ACE_READ. The AFS_ACE_WRITE bit does not allow operations that modify the directory. For a directory with AFS_ACE_WRITE but neither AFS_ACE_INSERT nor AFS_ACE_DELETE, this would result in trying operations that would ultimately be denied by the server.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
