>Description:
	
	Function access () in unistd.h doesn't return 0 on success - it's 
	returning 1. This is breaking sliplogin which is expecting 0 to be
	returned. Probably other programs are breaking too.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Run sliplogin. Write a short example using access().
>Fix:
	
	Change the function in the library or document this un-Posixish
	behaviour and adapt ther rest of the system accordingly.
