1) Don't worry about the t/TEST -verbose t/apr/util.t anymore. The problem went away after I removed all RC4 and rebuilt it. don't really know what had happened.
2) After you mentioned AAA, I thought about our private modules again. By default, they use cookie to authenticate instead of userid and passwd. Unless the browser is set no cookie accept, the uid/pass will be prompted. So that I tend to think that it may not be issues for those failures. My question is if I can setup it not to use cookies in the test cases or the conf file. Our mp1 httpd.conf has <directory /www/force/enter/uid/for/this/one> AuthCookieName NoCookieUsed AuthName "enter uid and password)" AuthType BasiC <limit GET POST> require valid-user </limit> </directory> $ t/TEST -clean $ t/TEST -verbose t/protocol/pseudo_http.t ====error_log END in modperl_extra.pl, pid=2338 [Wed Feb 02 07:23:35 2005] [notice] Apache/2.0.52 (Unix) world domination series /2.0 mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.6 configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Feb 02 07:23:35 2005] [info] Server built: Jan 31 2005 15:14:31 [Wed Feb 02 07:23:35 2005] [debug] prefork.c(955): AcceptMutex: fcntl (default:fcntl) starting method: run_access_checker u/p: stas/foobar finished method: run_access_checker starting method: run_check_user_id starting method: run_access_checker *** The following error entry is expected and harmless *** u/p: stas/foObaR finished method: run_access_checker starting method: run_check_user_id [Wed Feb 02 07:23:39 2005] [info] Child process pid=2580 is exiting [Wed Feb 02 07:23:39 2005] [info] Child process pid=2582 is exiting END in modperl_extra.pl, pid=2580 END in modperl_extra.pl, pid=2582 [Wed Feb 02 07:23:39 2005] [info] Child process pid=2694 is exiting END in modperl_extra.pl, pid=2694 [Wed Feb 02 07:23:39 2005] [info] removed PID file /s5/twh/papache/mod_perl-2.0.0-RC4/t/logs/httpd.pid (pid=2462) [Wed Feb 02 07:23:39 2005] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down END in modperl_extra.pl, pid=2462
