JPRT may be using ssh but others will likely run the tests in other 
configurations. If the shell test allows the scenario to be tested in 
other configurations then it may be better to just include it in your 
patch (in general we want to eliminate as many shell tests as possible 
but a shell tests bets the cost of a manual test any day).
