Subject: maint: tests: avoid AIX specific EACCES handling
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe997b5f986a2195c2e5fe460d58a56f39a681cf;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

maint: tests: avoid AIX specific EACCES handling

* tests/rm/inaccessible.sh: Remove AIX specific handling.
* tests/cp/fail-perm.sh: Likeise.  Also remove confusing
EPERM/HPUX mentions.
* tests/misc/sync.sh: Don't hardcode EISDIR and EACCES.
