A test that attempts to remove /etc/shadow sounds like a dangerous test. 
I remember there was one test in the libs areas but it has been fixed 
many years ago. I looked through the handful of tests that still have 
@ignore and the reasons aren't clear. Do you have examples of dangerous 
or other tests that aren't appropriate to put onto the jtreg exclude 
list? Only asking because it would be a lot simpler for everyone if 
there is one way to exclude tests.
