True -- how about: One of the tests requires the ability to read the device file behind stdin. By default this file can't be read in the current environment, since it's owned by another user. Make the test use an alternate device for its stdin, which is always readable: That wording should be a bit less questionable. Unfortunately there's still an issue with why is the test trying to read the device when it isn't always readable (if normal "read(0, ...);" works, why doesn't "test -r <that device>"?), but maybe we can avoid that question. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGtNvAS5vET1Wea5wRAys5AKDbvJonZEA0HJXvK9oF0OM7cUu8WgCgxYAy w8JEONhMegkY09OXS7UBybg= =PrQw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
