Oh, and I'm overlooking these: groups is in the shadow package too id is in the shadow package too
On GNU systems, like GNU/Linux, it is only appropriate to install the GNU version of these programs by default. The problem with su is that it requires root access to be usable, and the problem with arch is that it is not standard (the Solaris arch command does not do what the GNU arch command does for example, and this would break scripts); and hence why it makes sense to disable them by default. The same does not apply for id, groups or kill. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
