Hadn't heard anything so I wanted to try again... has anyone else experienced the following or have any thoughts on what to do to correct it?

After installing coreutils, the fink version of su fails, apparently because it isn't properly getting account info from Panther. OpenSSH seems to also have this problem, as when I run the fink ssh daemon, I am unable to login remotely because all account/password combinations are rejected.

Any one else have similar problems with Panther or have thoughts on how to correct this? If it matters, I did a clean install of Panther (all Jaguar stuff removed first).

This is apparently true, and I think I'll just remove coreutils from fink for now, since I only introduced it to get around the mv bug that is apparently caused by stuffit pro, and I'm not enthusiastic about supporting it in general. =)

If someone wants to take up the mantle and take over ownership of coreutils and clean it up more, they're welcome to. At the very least it should be splitoffized so fileutils/textutils/shellutils are separate, if it gets reintroduced.

We put a lot of thought into our defaults.  We like them.  If we
didn't, we would have made something else be the default.  So keep
your cotton-pickin' hands off our defaults.  Don't touch.  Consider
them mandatory.  "Mandatory defaults" has a nice ring to it.
