  system, it the max number guaranteed.  Thus, if the system actually
  allows more, the test case doesn't produce the expected failure.

  The rlim_max used by setrlimit() is expected to be greater than current hard limit to get EPERM.

- Fixed ftp01 and telnet01 seems designed to run with non-root user connection
  when the user name is set to RUSER environment variable.
  However, it is incomplete.ftp01 creates a directory whose permission is root.

  reserving space for the trailing null byte and strncpy was being called
  without enough bytes to account for the trailing null byte.  The
  following patch fixes the problem
- Increased USER_PRECISION to 2200 to take into account the processes switching time nanosleep02
- The attached patch fixes a swapon cross compile build error I ran into
  recently. I verified that RH9 self hosted and cross compile builds now

  can build and execute the test without it now.
- Change for defect 13778, when the /var/log/messages file is first moved, the first write fails
- The SIGINT sighandler will set the "intinitr" flag to 1 for the children. But if the
  "runtime" is small( a command line argument passed, the testcases were running
  for 5 secs here), it may happen that the SIGINT may be recieved before the
  child initialize the flag to 0, and which may lead to a hang
- Change to exclude lib6 directory from default build since it breaks earlier Distros
- Added code to handle cases where certain distros don't define AI_V4MAPPED in /usr/include/netdb.h

- Additional security testcases

LTP-20040707
- Added a new test for bind() written by Dan Jones.
- Jacky Malcles added support for ext3 and some cleanup code.
- Fixes to fix DMAPI defect
- Changes for eliminating dmapi.h
- Applied patch from Gary Williams to change malloc() to calloc() b/c some
  archs don't like the use of uninitialized memory.
- Fix typo and change i to a 1 in the bufcmp function in diotest_routines.c
- Applied patch from Gary Williams that added an optional forth arguement to
 semctl as a union, not a pointer to pointer, b/c pointer to pointer causes ppc
 to explode.  Union will automagically interpret the union as a pointer as
 necessary....now works on multiple archs.
- Made sure that the shm segment is cleaned up if the shmat() fails.
- Applied patch from Wu Zhou to correctly cleanup in case of a failure.

- Add new security tests to syscalls testsuite
- In acl_file_test.c and acl_link_test.c syscalls regarding xattrs are still
   done via syscall, although libc functions are available. Furthermore I found
   out that on older distros for non-intel architectures both attr/xattr.h and
   constants like __NR_getxattr are not available, so in this case the these
   testcases are not built.
- Updates for the DMPAI testsuite ppc64 support.

  routine, sy_mmrw, will pass sbuf.st_size for the msync length without first
  having done the fstat to populate sbuf.

  64-bit processes.

  high memory region.
