Well, testgrp test is failing because it assumes that group IDs are unique, which is not guaranteed by getgrent(). And apparently not true at PARC.

testposix fails on some group-related thing, too: the use of initgroups(), which is supposed to fail, succeeds. testpwd fails because the fake uid chosen for one test is a real UID for a PARC user. So these are really problems with the test being based on an insufficiently general model of the real world.

Could you file bugs for these, please? The first and last others should be able to replicate easily; the middle one will probably require your help on the machine in question to debug.
