Date: 29 Sep 1995 20:58:38 GMT Organization: inQuo Internet (801) 530-7160 Lines: 13 Distribution: world Message-ID: <44hmlu$ofi@xymox.dsw.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: inquo.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm curious where I might pick up the GNU version of su, which allows me to specify a shell command to be executed when su executes. The su that comes with FreeBSD 2.0.5R doesn't support this feature, whereas the one that comes with Linux (GNU su) allows a "-c" parameter. If there is a way to su and execute a command with the current version of su, please let me know. I need to use this with INN1.4unoff2 to have it execute as user "news" instead of as root.
