 Replying to [comment:1 jelte]:

 I guess the intent was actually to see it works, considering the
 background regression for this ticket...

 > I'd be hesitant to require root privileges for these tests...

 Me, too.  This seems to be beyond the scope of system tests.  On the
 other hand, it would be nice if we can have some (semi?) automatic
 test framework that tests the entire system in an environment closer
 to actual deployments (using installed versions, with chuser, using
 privilege port etc).  If I hadn't tried to install and run the
 "release candidate" on my server, it would have been very likely that
 we included the #2067 regression in the release.  I normally do this
 check at least a few days before the release date for every release,
 but it's not very reliable to only depend on such individual practice.

 Such a test should probably be disabled by default, and would require
 some special setup manually (becoming root, creating 'bind' user,
 etc), and maybe manually invoked by hand a few days before the release
 (or maybe run from root's cron periodically).   (And it may not be
 under the "lettuce" directory).
