    Problem Text


    The ipcrm test cases 1010,1012,1014,1016,1018,1020,1021 all have
    a common problem with the permissions. The test cases use common
    routines to create a message queue, shared memory and semaphores
    with privileged user permssion of 0624 ("rw--w-r--") with the
    user as root. In all cases, there is verification code to verify
    the message queue, shared memory or semaphore exists for a user
    message prior to being removed by "ipcrm" and verification that the
    message was removed. The verification code uses the command "ipcs -q"
    to attempt to read an ipc facility. In all cases the, "ipcs -q" fails.
    In XSH5, page 36 defines acceptable permissions for read/write functions
    which access the ipc facilities. The "ipcs -q" is executed as the test suite
    user without any special privileges. The test user does not have read
    permission when executing "ipcs -q" as the ipc facility is owned by root. The
    ipc facility was also created without group read permissions so the test
    user can not access the ipc facility even with belonging to the same group.
