Description lkml_ccc 2007-04-17 15:43:01 UTC

less /usr/sbin/pppoe-start
...
# Must be root
if [ "`/bin/id -u`" != 0 ] ; then
    $ECHO "$ME: You must be root to run this script" >& 2
    exit 1
fi
...

The situation is the same in other scripts, but in new coreutils the file has moved in /usr/bin/id.
I am living with /bin/id being a soft link to /usr/bin/id, but this should be fixed.
