Chapter 6's Coreutils /bin/su will be overwritten by Shadow's, which isn't a big deal, but it's not very elegant. I personally prefer to install Chapter 5's /tools/bin/tools-su simply so that packages are not overwriting eachothers files in Chapter 6... it's a bad precedent. It also adds the complication of writing the Coreutils page so that users can reinstall Coreutils after Shadow, without losing the PAM-compatible 'su' from Shadow. robert
