sus is a program that allows users to run commands as root or as another user.
Created attachment 12624 [details] This is the ebuild file. This should probably go in the app-admin category.
Created attachment 12625 [details] This is a default configuration file. This file is set up to let users in group "wheel" run any command as root.

Will take a look at the ebuild, clean it up, test, and keyword to ~arch barring any outstanding issues. btw, this program sounds s bit like 'sudo' and 'su', any major differences?
One thing it is supposed to be able to do is run processes as session leaders. I guess I just like this program because the control file seems to be a little more understandable than sudo's control file, and it allows me to set up the path so I don't have to type full paths to some commands like I did with sudo.
Finally getting around to this (sorry for the delay), but I have a question looking at your ebuild. You install part of the package in /var and make it executable. Is this normal behavior? All my machines mount /var as a separate partition with "noexec" to prevent executables from running from /var. This looks like it might pose a problems for this ebuild.
It should not be a problem. /var/run/sus is a directory where timestamps are put similar to the way sudo works. Sudo does the same thing with the directory /var/run/sudo, so if tht doesn't causea problem on your machines this shouldn't either as far as I know.
It's added. Made some minor changes to the ebuild to copy the config file to /etc (the config is stored in the files subdir of sus in the tree) and a few einfo's to tell the user to look over this config file. It's marked ~x86, ~sparc, and ~mips.
