Hi Rocky,
Sorry about the delay.
I haven't forgotten.

I noticed that your test requires typing a root password.
We prefer to avoid that, so that the tests can be run
non-interactively.  That's why some tests are root-only.
(see README for details on running them)
They're marked with require_root_.
At least one is a bourne shell husk that actually does
its work in Perl, so may be a good model.
