Does %check install the package and run the tests as root?  For the keyutils
package that I maintain, this would be a requirement to be able to run the
testsuite because:

 (1) There are certain operations that cannot be tested if you're not root.

 (2) The kernel must be able to upcall to executables installed by the rpm.

I imagine this applies to some other packages also.
