Depending on where the source directory is, you may have to open up a parent directory normally restricted to root to a non-root user, which wouldn't be a good idea, even temporarily. What about just skipping the tests if root is running the tests, and printing out an explanatory message why the tests are skipped? -- best regards, randy
