Ah, that sounds reasonable of course.

Gee!

But I changed permissions on /home/tiefnig/ to 0755 before this run...
Ah, this was a leftover from my first run, "eximdir" was still owned by
"tiefnig.Debian-exim"...
Now Basic/0005 succeeds, as do Tests 0006 to 0014.

For Basic/0015 and 0016 (local part pre- and suffix) to succeed, I had
to add gecos information to my account, and enable the substitution on
line 250 of runtest again.

Test 0017 and 0018 (ETRN) say things like:
| Line 24 of "test-stderr-munged" does not match line 24 of
| "stderr/0017".
| ----------
| >>> name=the.local.host.name address=127.0.0.1
| ----------
| >>> name=localhost address=127.0.0.1

0019 and 0031 are okay, and on my setup runtest has finished with
"basic" tests then.
