Ok, I have now a reliable test case. make install in the Hurd source makes
it fail with EPERM (which I meant rather than ENOPERM) every time, but at
different places.
It fails when creating a file, creating symlink, changing the mode. Maybe
at other situations, too. We will have to look at the authentification
code.
Thanks,
