You were running the tests as root?  I think we need to add
PermitRootLogin=yes to the regression tests to cover this case.

 I filed a bug report (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2412),
prematurely perhaps I hope (i.e., I hope not a duplicate) - and doing a su
to michael helped the tests along - a lot.

In the end some of the tests fail because AIX diff does not support the -u
option. I shall rerun tomorrow with gnu diff installed.

As I never use sudo - how is "make tests" expected to work on pristine
system? Or will sudo just default to letting everyone become root so
"rootlike" things can be tested? (This is why for builds I test as root -
so applications can verify they drop "super" powers.

Please note: that this build that is passing tests is the same build
process (less one argument --without-openssl). So, I am hoping you will be
able to get "make tests" working (on AIX) in time for 6.9p1. (and I
requested the https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2370 be reopened
- or do you prefer a new one as the "symptom" has changed.

* I have not forgotten it is 'experimental' - but I would love to be able
to try it in production!
