Fix runtime dir ownership checking. #10

Closed SimonSapin closed 8 years ago

SimonSapin commented 8 years ago

You don’t need to own a directory to see its metadata:

<SimonSapin>    ::std::fs::metadata("/root").is_ok()
<-->    playbot: true
<SimonSapin>    ::std::fs::read_dir("/root").is_ok()
<-->    playbot: false

This is unfortunately hard to test: root access would be needed to change ownership of a directory under test_files/, and there is no guarantee any other directory would be present.
