This should then behave just like older versions. Wouldn't it be a lot more natural and intuitive if the default for -u would be not to switch users at all? It wouldn't change the (previous) default behavior and it doesn't use two hard-coded user names (vdr and root). Specifying -u root to disable switching is at least strange... Cheers, Udo
