Would you please confirm that this patch is sufficient?

        Subject: [PATCH] Avoid test failures when root (/) is not readable.

        * tests/test-lib.sh (require_readable_root_): New function.
        * tests/misc/pwd-long: Skip this test when / is unreadable.
        * tests/du/slash: Likewise.
        This is required at least for Mandrake/Mandriva in "secure" mode.

After a minor modification to apply to coreutils-6.10, I run the tests and everything was fine. Got the SKIP messages too - which my own patches (adding `[[ -r / ]] || exit 0' to both tests) did not show...

Thanks for the quick resolution!
