Does su check logincap.conf too? I certainly agree this can be fully solved in userspace, though it won't be a few linear change in userspace and for the short term matter there's not much time left to change userspace. For the long term if we want to go with the userspace solution that's fine with me, I definitely agree with that. For the very short term I'm not sure, but then I certainly cannot object if nothing is changed in the mainline kernel for this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
