Package: sux
Version: 1.0.1-3.2
Severity: normal
Hi,
when called as `sux - <random user>', sux runs the target user's
~/.bash_profile script twice :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|pts/5:~# adduser --disabled-password --gecos '' foobar >
/dev/null
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|pts/5:~# echo "echo \"This is foobar's ~/.bash_profile\"" >>
~foobar/.bash_profile
[EMAIL PROTECTED]|pts/5:~# sux - foobar
This is foobar's ~/.bash_profile
xauth: creating new authority file /home/foobar/.Xauthority
This is foobar's ~/.bash_profile
This is apparently due to sux not dropping the minus in the su(1)
invocation, and running the command `$SHELL -l' (``login''). The exact
command line sux generates appears to be this one:
exec su - foobar -c "eval $TERM; exec env TERM='xterm' DISPLAY=':0' sh
-c \"exec $SHELL -l\""
^^^
^^^
Minus invocation
Login shell
The man page for sux reads in part:
’sux user’ and ’sux - user’ behave just like su but transfer $DISPLAY
and the X cookies.
Since su(1) doesn't do that, this behaviour is unexpected, and can lead
to annoying and unwanted side-effects. Could you please fix this ?
Cheers,
-- W.
