_C_IFS_FOPEN

Well I created a test program to see what authorities are needed to open
a file for read only.  Turns out that the file is not the problem, but
the directory.  While the users had read access to the directory, they
did not have *RX.  So to use the IFS, the users need *RX to the
directories and *R to the file for read only.

To create a file users will need *RWX to the last directory in the path
and *RX to the directories above.

I want to thank everyone for their incites and URLs to the
documentation.  No where I read did it say you need *RX to the directory
containing the file in which you want to read.  Argh!
