You mean that we have 08taint.t check to see whether it's being run as 
root/administrator ... and if it is then it skips all tests ?
That sounds ok to me (assuming it's possible to reliably detect the case).

Is it *guaranteed* that Inline won't work under -T when run as root/admin ?
Or is it merely *possible* that Inline won't work under -T when run as 
root/admin ?
(The answer has a bearing on the SKIP message that we would present, and 
upon the modification we would make to the TAINT documentation that we 
provide.)

Patch welcome.

Does anyone actually use -T and Inline ?
If so, do they use it safely ?

Cheers,
