+This directory contains several programs to test various OS calls.
+If your OS is not listed in the Results file, you should run those
+test programs. Most of them have instructions at the begin of source
+code, at least those which are important.
+
+Notice: most of these programs require set-user-ID or set-group-ID
+installation. Hence they are not tested automatically.
+
+t_dropgid.c test how to drop saved-gid for a set-group-ID program
+t_exclopen.c test for security-defeating semantics that an open with
+ O_CREAT|O_EXCL set will successfully open a file named
+ by a symbolic link that to a non-existent file
+t_seteuid.c test whether seteuid works
+t_setgid.c test whether setgid works
+t_setreuid.c test whether setreuid works
+t_setuid.c test whether setuid works
