Thanks. I was looking at the latest auto_nicdrv_0330.tar.bz2 and indeed it downloads the latest version of the test suite. That is great. However, as Tom Chen pointed out on the other thread, it does appear that the install.ksh script is running stf_configure with root permissions. I am not sure why this is necessary -- STF should be able to handle stf_configure being run as a non-root user (it does, for every other test suite). Why is it necessary to run stf_configure as root for the nicdrv test suite? -UVR.
