It is perfectly Ok, if some tests do not obey the LTP framework, but
they still exist inside LTP. You can see that for yourself here:

http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/,

While testcases like open_posix, open_hpi, kdump, ballista, pounder21,
realtime, etc do not follow LTP framework. Hence during LTP releases,
these are also released as separate tarballs apart from being part of
the main release tarball as well. So, people who use all the tests will
download the main release, others do selective downloads.

What you see inside the
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/, sub directory
are the actual test cases which follow the LTP framework. In fact if
there are tests which just return 0/non-zero on PASS/FAIL is a suitable
candidate for initial inclusion into absolute LTP framework.

Even during the last FOSS 2007 meeting, i had a talk with James and he
said that HP has released Common Criteria certifications. I was
wondering that i had done only for IBM´s and SGI´s Common Criteria
Certification testsuite release, not for HP:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3382,

So, wouldn´t it be better to put audit-test somewhere here:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/,

or, more better here:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/security/,

If you give me a thumbsup for this, initially i would request a DCO
signoff mail (my legal obligations) from you to ltp-list. Nexttime
onwards, whenever you update your releases in
https://sourceforge.net/projects/audit-test, i can automatically pull
the diff inside LTP. Do you think that this can be a nice beginning ?
