[Oops, patch was reversed. Try this one.]
Hello all
I just noticed that an sh-utils RPM I built didn't have su. It appears
coreutils-4.5.2 would have the same problem. I want to do staged installs
as an unpriviledged user. (Downloading 4.5.3 now; ignore me if it's fixed.)
Here's a patch.
Watch out for the whitespace - I cut&pasted!
