[PATCH] xfstests: check if qa user can execute commands

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



_require_user only checks if the qa user exists in /etc/passwd. It may exist
though still not be able to execute anything (e.g. with a /bin/false shell).

_user_do cannot determine failure to execute the given command, as it uses
_user_do_filter for post-processing which succeeds even if the command
fails. Thus, the check should be performed by _require_user.
