It makes sense that this happens, because of course /usr/bin/ is writable
by root.

Thanks.
We need to skip those TAINT checks if run as root or Windows Administrator.

You mean that we have 08taint.t check to see whether it's being run as root/administrator ... and if it is then it skips all tests ?
That sounds ok to me (assuming it's possible to reliably detect the case).

Is it *guaranteed* that Inline won't work under -T when run as root/admin ?
Or is it merely *possible* that Inline won't work under -T when run as root/admin ? (The answer has a bearing on the SKIP message that we would present, and upon the modification we would make to the TAINT documentation that we provide.)

Patch welcome.

Does anyone actually use -T and Inline ?
If so, do they use it safely ?

Cheers,
Rob
