If anyone's interested, here's a snippet with the basic working logic. Although the "id -G" portion is not the safest way of doing this, I just don't know how:

my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev,$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime, +$blksize,$blocks) = stat($targetdir); $newuser = getpwuid($uid); $groups = `/usr/bin/id -G $newuser`; $) = "$groups"; $> = $uid; if ( not chdir("$targetdir")) { print "$targetdir is inaccessible to its owner\n"; next; } else { $currentdir = Cwd::getcwd(); my $lasterr = $!; if (not defined $currentdir) { # incorrect underlying mount-point permissions print "getcwd() failed for $targetdir:$lasterr\n"; } else { print "getcwd() for $over is OK."); } }
