[Ken Cunningham]

Oh, OK…. That’s different then, for sure. Let me see if I get the same result.

Specifically, I cannot get Vidalia tests run with sudo port test. At the same time, they run fine if I launch the test binary manually without sudo. What fails: 1. sudo port test vidalia 2. sudo /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_svacchanda_SonomaPorts_security_Vidalia/Vidalia/work/vidalia-8240540188062a168a66b25ca61b852cc89140ad/src/tests/VidaliaTestSuite 3. sudo -u macports /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_svacchanda_SonomaPorts_security_Vidalia/Vidalia/work/vidalia-8240540188062a168a66b25ca61b852cc89140ad/src/tests/VidaliaTestSuite What works fine: 1. /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_svacchanda_SonomaPorts_security_Vidalia/Vidalia/work/vidalia-8240540188062a168a66b25ca61b852cc89140ad/src/tests/VidaliaTestSuite 2. sudo -u svacchanda /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_svacchanda_SonomaPorts_security_Vidalia/Vidalia/work/vidalia-8240540188062a168a66b25ca61b852cc89140ad/src/tests/VidaliaTestSuite (that is, from a current non-root user). (Portfile in the master has no support for tests, as of now, so running it gonna fail anyway.)

This happened because there is no installer for 10.6-ppc to automatically create the macports user. You have an open ticket about this too, where I pointed to the commands to be run to generate the macports user. Sooner or later you will probably have to fix this.
