Subject: runuser(1) and su(1) -g/-G
Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2012 17:18:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120904151843.GA6389@x2.net.home> (raw)
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]).
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/".
Karel
