Hi Marcus,

I have fileutils 4.0o-5 installed on my system.  It appears that it
does provide su:

neal@hurd:~$ dpkg --contents fileutils_4.0o-5.deb  | grep su
neal@hurd:~$ 

It appears that the i386 linux package also lacks su.
Also, according to the README in the fileutils-4.0 distribution (on
ftp.gnu.org), it does not provide su.

The programs that can be built with this package are: chgrp, chown,
chmod, cp, dd, df, du, install, ln, dir, vdir, ls, mkdir, mvdir, mkfifo,
mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, sync and touch.  But mvdir is built only on systems
that lack the rename system call.

What should I be looking for?

Thanks,
