2720	tcl tests http.test httpold.test socket.test fail when run from non-root user	Gilles Espinasse	lfs-book@…	"I build as root on a lenny machine and as non-root on ubuntu-9.04
http.test httpold.test socket.test consistenly fail on the non-root build and work on the root build.

I checked first that compilation log are the same as they should. Then I moved the entire compiled tcl package from one machine to the other.

If I move the compiled tcl (using a tar) on the machine where I compile as root and run the tests as root, they work.

If I do the reverse and move the compiled as root package on the machine where I compile as non-root, the three tests fail.

So I conclude that those 3 tests need to be run as root.
I think that should be noted on chap5.11 tcl that those test will failed and the reason.

If you try to replay what I have done, you need to adjust unix/Makefile to match the new place of the package.
