> The new f-a-d-p completely ignores permissions
Sorry, I wasn't completely clear. I did not mean that it overcomes permissions to give information about the existence of directories that it cannot even see.
Depending on platform the code looks like it checks for a directory (using faccessat or stat) or checks existence of the . directory within it. It appears to be making checks that depend on certain permissions (in other words actually trying it) instead of inspecting permissions (and being misled by them).
