Usefulness of access(2) -- source available

[Sam Kendall]

I have a function which simulates access(2) for effective UID.
If a lot of people are interested in it, I'll post it to the
net.  But it's not hard to write; if someone else wants to submit
their version, that's fine, since mine is not on a machine
with net access, and will otherwise take time to submit.
