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]).
Thanks for doing all that Karel.
I've not time to look now,
but will note that many were looking for
a lightweight option that didn't need PAM.
Perhaps PAM support could be easily compiled out?
cheers,
Pádraig.
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/".
