Before #135816 it was skipped because pwd is missing on Emscripten. Now it isn't skipped because the test no longer requires pwd but it still doesn't work on Emscripten.

Is this failing because of https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/netrc.py#L10C5-L12 (from gh-135815)?

This test is validating the security check is working right (added in gh-59189). Worried about disabling a test for a security check rather than just disabling the module (or fixing the security check).

I'm not 100% sure about this. Unlike WASI, Emscripten reliably has os.getuid(); but it doesn't have pwd. So - the netrc._can_security_check() will pass (which means the test added for WASI test will fail); but the default test is failing (because the check performed by that test doesn't hold for Emscripten):

My immediate guess is that the _can_security_check() method should be modified to catch the Emscripten behavior (maybe by adding and os.getuid() != 0, or maybe even an explicit and sys.platform != "emscripten". @hoodmane may have another idea.

That said - it's interesting that this failure is also occurring with a file mode, which is similar to the failure reported as #135783 (although it's a very different issue). That might be complete coincidence... but it's an interesting simliarity.
