I guess I could use a little advice. > Some tests require root, some do not. It depends on what you want to test. All tests that require root should announce this in their configuration, so running tests as a regular user should work, but you’ll end up with more skipped tests than if you run them as root. I personally mostly care about network (and specifically pf) tests, so I tend to always run them as root. If you care about (e.g.) grep tests they should just work as a regular user.
