Hi Rocky,
Sorry about the extended delay.
Changing su.c like this has really low priority.
I've looked at your patch and see that it changes the semantics
of su for those who use -l with (-m or -p).
Before your patch, -l would lead to simulate_login

E.g., it cannot su to any user on this Fedora 17 system. If su

I've just realized my (silly!) error.
For su to do its job, it must be set-UID

IMHO no.
As Jim is the CU maintainer, he (or Padraig or someone else) will push
changes to git. As it's always good to have someone else to

We prefer to avoid that, so that the tests can be run
non-interactively. That's why some tests are root-only.
Any progress or thoughts on the revised patch?

Hi Rocky,
su is barely on life support in coreutils.

So does OpenSuSE.
As in coreutils.texi, -l and -p can be used together,

Hi Rocky,
su is barely on life support in coreutils.
Meaning that it's no longer really maintained.
