runuser(1) and su(1) -g/-G

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 Hi,

I did some changes to the su(1):

  - add --group= option to specify the primary group
  - add --supp-group= option to specify a supplemental group

the both options are based on Fedora runuser(1) patch and it's
available for root only (non-root cannot specify any groups).


I have also added new command runuser(1) -- it's completely based on
su(1) code. The difference is that runuser does not ask for password,
has to be executed by root and it uses different PAM configuration
(/etc/pam.d/runuser[-l]).

The changes should be available in v2.23 (or easily backported to
2.22, I'll do that for Fedora).

See master branch and "git whatchanged login-utils/".
