Sure, if you look in: ftp://ftp.freestandards.org/pub/lsb/test_suites/beta/source/runtime there is a source rpm. Its rather a pain to build. You will need to have expect and tcl installed, and even worse it will want to compile it /home/tet and ask you for the root password of the machine. I am working on a way to work around these problems though. Building TET does also leave a setuid binary on the system (it does do some checking, but essentially its designed to allow a non privileged user to set ownership and permissions on other files). So you shouldn't run these on production systems, or in cases where you don't trust the local users. Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM OzLabs Linux Development Group Canberra, Australia
