Building

The project builds fine with cargo build.

The tests are not thread safe. You must run cargo test -- --test-threads=1, or you will get many AddrInUse errors.

Some of the tests require elevated permissions; either capabilities granted to the test binary, or for the test procedure to run as root. These will fail with a PermissionDenied error.
