    Problem Summary PG4U.00114 This test disconnects all STREAMs downstream from the multiplexor used.
    Problem Text
    This Testcase and many others fails due the test strategy in
    CAPIbase/fioctl/fioctl204.

    This test do a ioctl(fd,I_PUNLINK,MUXID_ALL) ,which will disconnect
    all connections to fd.

    On our machine all services are linked under /dev/ip and no
    other multiplexer is available.

    To avoid the problem, change the parameter MUXID_ALL to "id",that
    has no effect on the behavior of the test.

    On my opinion it is a very big security problem, that an unprivileged
    user can do that.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: poll

    TEST PURPOSE #25
    If the implementation supports a communications domain
    and a socket type:
    A call to int poll(struct pollfd fds[], nfds_t nfds,
    int timeout) shall support regular files, terminals
    and pseudo-terminal devices, STREAMS-based files,
    sockets, FIFOS and pipes.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    This is a basically a configuration issue - the submittor should not
    configure a multiplexor for use in testing which already has STREAMS
    downstream from it which they do want to have disconnected.

    As described in the test suite documentation, it is valid for the
    VSU_STREAM_MULTIPLEXOR configuration variable to have no value, in which
    case this test would have an UNSUPPORTED result. So, even if no
    other multiplexors are available this issue has no impact on branding.

    Note: as this test is verifying the operation of MUXID_ALL, changing
    it to just unlink a single connection as suggested would make the test not
    match the assertion.
