Hello, I'm running uclibc-1.0.15 testsuite on ARC and see "tst-ethers" fails. From what I may see "tst-ethers" test requires /etc/ethers to exist and to have host "teeth", otherwise it fails. This test passed on ARC and other architectures, as I can see at http:/ /tests.embedded-test.org/uClibc-ng/1.0.15/ , so I'm wondering if there's some dependency we need to have in place for this test to pass successfully?
It is just added into the buildsystem making all the toolchains and cross-compiling the qemu images.
Or, maybe, we should create /etc/ethers file with host "teeth" at the beginning of the test, if they does not exists?
As a user might run the test as non-root I would rather suggest we may add a check if a /etc/ethers exist and if not print an error message.
What do you think? best regards Waldemar
Sorry had to resend as I had a typo in my sending address.
I think we can do something like that: If /etc/ethers exist - launch test, otherwise - print warning message like "test doesn't launch cause file /etc/ethers doesn't exist. You should create this file manually." and return 0 (because it isn'y uClibc problem). But we also need to check, if /etc/ethers containts "teeth" host. Otherwise we will not know real reason of "ether_hostton" function fails: is it uClibc problem or just /etc/ethers doesn't contain "teeth" host.
