------------------------


If there is a Windows host in the cluster, the testsuite asks for the passwords
for the user, root, sgetest1 and sgetest2 and immediately tests if they work.
For the users password, the test always succeeds, even with a wrong password.

Reason: The process which starts the password test is already running as the
user, so the id command prints the right user IDs, even if the su failed.

Possible Fixes:
1. First ask for the sgetest1 password, then su to sgetest1, ask for the users
password and try the "su <user>" with this password.
- or -
2. Perhaps it's possible to check the return value of the su command.
