### The DejaGnu Tests

Some of the built-in regression tests are setup to use the DejaGnu framework for running tests. These tests tend to be more comprehensive than the normal built-in tests as they setup test servers and test client/server activities.

DejaGnu may be found wherever GNU software is archived.

Most of the tests are setup to run as a non-privledged user. For some of the krb-root tests to work properly, either (a) the user running the tests must not have a .k5login file in the home directory or (b) the .k5login file must contain an entry for `<username>@KRBTEST.COM`. There are two series of tests (`rlogind` and `telnetd`) which require the ability to `rlogin` as root to the local machine. Admittedly, this does require the use of a `.rhosts` file or some authenticated means. 1

If you cannot obtain root access to your machine, all the other tests will still run. Note however, with DejaGnu 1.2, the "untested testcases" will cause the testsuite to exit with a non-zero exit status which `make` will consider a failure of the testing process. Do not worry about this, as these tests are the last run when `make check` is executed from the top level of the build tree. This problem does not exist with DejaGnu 1.3.

#### Footnotes

1. If you are fortunate enough to have a previous version of Kerberos V5 or V4 installed, and the Kerberos rlogin is first in your path, you can setup `.k5login` or `.klogin` respectively to allow you access.
