So far, it's unclear how the access function has to be implemented, because at the time of the call, the user access control decision is not yet known.

Possible solutions:

~~Not implement the function~~ - quite a lot of programs don't work properly.
~~Always return -1~~ - quite a lot of programs refuse to try accessing the filesystem again.
Always return F_OK
Ask the user, and then remember the decision.
