1) and 3) could play nicely together. I am happy to have an alternative for login, we're already doing this for fakeroot. About su, you would have to discuss this with the coreutils maintainer. Right now, su is only installed into the coreutils .deb on hurd-i386, I think it would make sense to have those as alternatives, but I don't know about the differences between the two and whether this would be feasable on GNU/Linux (and maybe he thinks it is not worth the troube). cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
