checks to ensure it built correctly. However, this particular test suite makes

therefore make a few adjustments to allow the tests to run properly. Should you
choose not to run the test suite, skip down to "Install the package". The
following commands will prepare us for the test suite. Create two dummy groups
and a dummy user name:</para>
