Thanks. We actually migrated a little while ago. We now default to util-linux[su]. Caveat emptor! This is *no drop-in replacement*, the respected options and behavior of the commands are *different*. The one from util-linux *don't* pass the whole environment in login mode but will strip it down to a few variables. One have to use the option -w (or --whitelist) to pass others. In the other hand, the one from shadow isn't aware of this options and will fail. In addition, it don't support a version option like -V. Therefore it's very unhandy to write a robust scripts supporting both versions of su. (In reply to Guido Jäkel from comment #8) Both variants of su are out in the wild, so a "robust" script would need to account for them anyway. Also, util-linux provides better alternatives in "runuser" and "setpriv". |
