code review request: 7078355: sun/net/www/protocol/file/DirPermissionDenied.sh leaves garbage on some linux systems

webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/7078355/webrev.00/

Evaluation:

It seems on this system, being an owner of a directory does not 
automatically grants a user every privileged action on it. A chmod is 
still needed.

Description:

sun/net/www/protocol/file/DirPermissionDenied.sh has these lines:

    mkdir -p ${TESTDIR}
    chmod 333 ${TESTDIR}
    ...
    rm -rf ${TESTDIR}

On one of SQE's test machines the "rm -rf" fails saying "cannot open 
directory...: Permission denied". The machine is a --

$ uname -a
Linux sc14160057 2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Jan 4 07:38:47 EST 
2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ arch
i686
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)

It seems this system needs a read access to rm, even if called by the owner.

The test runs fine on other systems.

Thanks
Max
