Simply changing the permissions is not correct.  Tests might contain
confidential information, and the test runner might be running on a
system which is doing other work.

If it is necessary for a test to share information between multiple
non-root users, it should create a suitable Unix group, or something.

What are you trying to do ?

Bug description:
  adt-run creates a working directory with mktemp in /tmp/ e.g /tmp/tmp.XXXXXX which is set to the default permissions u+rwx.
  This makes impossible to execute tests with another user than the user who started the tests or root.

  permissions should be changed to og+rx for this directory.
