Amazing!! I just posted a BIGGER patch for ksu/main.c to krb5-bugs@MIT.EDU
yesterday. Mine included the context fixes that were submitted by
Wolfgang Rupprecht last May.
If you do not get messages from krb5-bugs@MIT.EDU and you want my BIGGER
patches, just send a request direct to me.
Here is a bit of text from my message:
The bug fixes include the addition of "context" to many function
calls. I corrected two other errors that caused core dumps. These
involve the use of strchr to look for a ':' in a file name.
I added a new option "-w" which gives a whole new environment
similiar to the command "su - name".
Wolfgang added a new option "-s" to save the current environment and shell
similiar to "sudo".
Wolfgang Rupprecht also submitted changes to other files that are part
of the KSU tool.
I have updated the man page file ksu/ksu.M also.
