    Product Standard Internationalised System Calls and Libraries Extended (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.0.2
    Test Identification BASE/lchown 8 9
    Problem Summary PG4U.00030 The test is failing because it uses negative numbers for uids and gids.
    Problem Text
    lchown() Test 8 fails because the test passes in -2 as the uid,
    thinking that -2 is not a supported uid. On the system under test,
    -2 is a legitimate user id for "nobody" therefore the test fails.

    lchown() Test 9 fails because the test passes in -2 as the gid,
    thinking that -2 is not a supported gid. On the system under test,
    -2 is a legitimate group id for "nobody" therefore the test fails.

    HP recommands to have two more configuation parameters such as
    VSU_NO_USER_ID and VSU_NO_GROUP_ID in the TET configuration file
    (tetexec.cfg) for the tests.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: lchown

    TEST PURPOSE #8
    EINVAL in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    lchown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group)
    when owner is not a value supported by the
    implementation.
    PREP: Create test file
    TEST: Invalid owner id returns -1
    ERROR: lchown() did not fail - returned 0
    8 FAIL

    TEST PURPOSE #9
    EINVAL in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    lchown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group)
    when group is not a value supported by the
    implementation.

    TEST: Invalid group id returns -1

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The tests use negative integers as illegal uid's and gid's.

    This should be true according to the the XBD spec definitions
    for uid and gid which state

    user ID

    A non-negative integer that is used to identify a system
    user. ...

    group ID

    A non-negative integer that is used to identify a group of system
    users. ....
