I don't see how that's a problem - it's a matter of installing one package (and not a required one - on my system no package requires /bin/su). I'm used to typing 'sudo su -' but then I just installed the subpackage and it works as expected. It's a one-time operation. The only thing that might need fixing is rc.d files using 'daemon --user foo' as in that case rc-scripts calls out to su. Still, no such package on my system. -- Patryk Zawadzki PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
