Well yea, also kind of normal to miss some things every now and then.
On the up-side, the osmo-gsm-tester is starting to give us useful feedback ;)

ok. As soon as the path for the sockets is configurable, the osmo-gsm-tester
will be fine.

Ah ok, I understand now. All I know is Osmocom, so the classic way is new to me

It's ok, I can also write up a patch; though I'm not sure what you mean with
sharing code with mncc_sock yet. I could try to figure that out, unless you're
faster than me anyway.

It's not super high prio, because so far the tester is running only one {BSC,
NITB} at a time, and as long as we clean up after manual runs with a different
user things should continue to work for the time being.

Agreed.
