Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Nice catch. I did check the results of the tests, but failed to notice the
reason why certain ones were skipped. I just saw that nothing failed. When
using the nobody user who is a member of just the one group, we get
messages like:
{{{
Making check in chgrp
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/coreutils-6.7/tests/chgrp'
make check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/root/coreutils-6.7/tests/chgrp'
./no-x: this test requires that you be a member of more than one group,
but running `id -G' either failed or found just one. If you really
are a member of at least two groups, then rerun this test with
COREUTILS_GROUPS set in your environment to the space-separated list
of group names or numbers. E.g.,
env COREUTILS_GROUPS='users cdrom' make check
}}}
So it skips that test. I'll add the addition of the extra dummy group back
in and make nobody a part of it.
