Good to see, but.... It is my understanding that there is not a released version of util-linux with su in it, and I do not see details of a release on the horizon. Is there going to be a hold on coreutils releases until an appropriate version of util-linux is released, or could we end up with the latest release of both packages not providing su? Allan
