mistakes happen. The 700+ tests that exist were verified by me when I submitted the script - that each test passes when it should and fails when it should. "FAIL" has many reasons. I tried to have separate exit codes for nettest.c to capture the timeouts vs ECONNREFUSED, etc., but I could easily have made a mistake. scanning the output is the best way. Most of the 'supposed to fail' tests have a HINT saying why it should fail.

The logging issue is why I went with 1 binary do both server and client after nettest.c got support for changing namespaces.
