That doesn't fix the directory permission issue which causes pretty much
every test to fail, so is this still an option for inclusion?
With regards to binding 127.0.0.1, yes its possible to bind it using
multi IP, but doing so breaks security if you share it with the host, so
its only possible in some situations and usually only for a proper loop
back address which wouldn't be 127.0.0.1 just in that /24.
I do agree quirks aren't ideal, but as its only the one test I thought
it would be nice to have given there's a simple and reliable way to
correct said test.
With this in mind would you be up for making an exception in this case?
