    Problem Text
    These tests may fail when the testsuite and the X-server are on
    different machines.

    The Xprotocol Spec says this about ChangeHosts and SetAccessControl:

    The client must reside on the same host as the server and/or have been granted
    permission by a server-dependent method to execute this request (or an
    error results).

    We are using the IBM X-server from the X11R6.3 SI which provides no
    server dependent method to do this.
    Test Output
    SECTION: Xproto

    TEST CASE: ChangeHosts

    TEST PURPOSE #1
    Assertion ChangeHosts-1.(A)
    When a client sends a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to
    the X server, then the X server does not send back an error,
    event or reply to the client.
    METH: Call library function testfunc() to do the following:
    METH: Open a connection to the X server using native byte sex.
    METH: Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    METH: Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    METH: Open a connection to the X server using reversed byte sex.
    METH: Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    METH: Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    REPORT: Expect: wanted NOTHING, got ERROR - BadAccess
    REPORT: Test ChangeHosts failed with 1 error.
    1 FAIL

    TEST CASE: SetAccessControl

    TEST PURPOSE #1
    Assertion SetAccessControl-1.(A)
    When a client sends a valid SetAccessControl protocol
    request to the X server, then the X server does not send
    back an error, event or reply to the client.
    METH: Call library function testfunc() to do the following:
    METH: Open a connection to the X server using native byte sex.
    METH: Send a valid SetAccessControl protocol request to the X server.
    METH: Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    METH: Open a connection to the X server using reversed byte sex.
    METH: Send a valid SetAccessControl protocol request to the X server.
    METH: Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    REPORT: Expect: wanted NOTHING, got ERROR - BadAccess

    Review Response
    We agree this is a Test Suite Deficiency in the test suite version listed.

    We believe the X protocol tests need not be run when testing for
    conformance to just the X Window System Application Interface Product
    Standard, as is being done here. While the submitter's premise is thus moot,
    the test suite is in error as it does not supply a single scenario that
    can be used for this purpose. Thus a TSD is needed to waiver these
    tests, as it is necessary to run the all scenario, which includes them,
    even though their results are not material here.

    Note that as the submitter's premise is not being accepted this TSD
    applies only when registering a product as conforming to only the
    X Window System Application Interface Product Standard and it can
    not be used when registering a product as conforming to the
    X Window System Display Product Standard.
