+RUNNING TESTS
+
+Run the test suite from the net-ssh directory with the following command:
+
+     ruby -Ilib -Itest -rrubygems test/test_all.rb
+     
+Run a single test file like this:
+
+     ruby -Ilib -Itest -rrubygems test/transport/test_server_version.rb
+
+
+EXPECTED RESULTS
+
+* Ruby 1.8: all tests pass
+
+* Ruby 1.9: all tests pass
+
+* JRuby 1.4: 96% tests pass (242 tests, 554 assertions, 0 failures, 8 errors)
+
+
+PORT FORWARDING TESTS
+
+     ruby -Ilib -Itest -rrubygems test/endtoend/test_forward.rb
+
+test_forward.rb must be run separately from the test suite because
+it requires authorizing your public SSH keys on you localhost. 
+
+If you already have keys you can do this:
+
+     cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+
+If you don't have keys see:
+     
+     http://kimmo.suominen.com/docs/ssh/#ssh-keygen
+         
+You should now be able to login to your localhost with out 
+bring prompted for a password:
+
+     ssh localhost
