[htdig-dev] Failed tests on OS X Panther with make check

[Ted Stresen-R. <ted...@ma...>]

hi,

make check produces the following output on OS X Panther (I couldn't 
wait to install it...) I haven't tried making all and make install, 
yet, but I will. These failed test might just be problems with how 
Apple sets up Apache.

Error:  Apache has not been designed to serve pages while
         running as root.  There are known race conditions that
         will allow any local user to read any file on the system.
         If you still desire to serve pages as root then
         add -DBIG_SECURITY_HOLE to the EXTRA_CFLAGS line in your
         src/Configuration file and rebuild the server.  It is
         strongly suggested that you instead modify the User
         directive in your httpd.conf file to list a non-root
         user.
