Would you please confirm that this patch is sufficient?
Subject: [PATCH] Avoid test failures when root (/) is not readable.
* tests/test-lib.sh (require_readable_root_): New function.
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Skip this test when / is unreadable.
* tests/du/slash: Likewise.
This is required at least for Mandrake/Mandriva in "secure" mode.

After a minor modification to apply to coreutils-6.10, I run the tests and
everything was fine. Got the SKIP messages too - which my own patches
(adding `[[ -r / ]] || exit 0' to both tests) did not show...
Thanks for the quick resolution!
