See tests 022, 390, 580 for some examples using unix domain sockets.
For remote fetching though (which this test does), SASL authentication
is the only way now. This is much harder to test (there are so many
different auth mechanisms) - I've started automated SASL testing but
its not generalised yet. Will get back to you when I have an example,
for now I'd _notrun it. There is no pmdaproc backdoor, credentials
must be presented ... should we consider adding one for back-compat?
I'd prefer not to, but guess we could go either way - it'd just take
a non-default command line option to disable the checks.
cheers.
