Bug#1003059: ITP: su-exec -- switch user and group id, setgroups and exec
Thanks Ansgar, I did not know setpriv, I will test if it can replace su-exec on my containers. Probably the main reason could be binary size on certain small systems/containers: $ du -sh /usr/sbin/gosu 2.3M/usr/sbin/gosu $ du -sh /usr/bin/setpriv 52K /usr/bin/setpriv $ du -sh /usr/bin/su-exec 16K /usr/bin/su-exec Best Regards, Matteo Il 2022-01-05 12:09 Ansgar ha scritto: On Mon, 03 Jan 2022 15:21:48 +0100 Matteo Chesi wrote: * Package name : su-exec Description : switch user and group id, setgroups and exec This is an alternative to gosu written in C. In Debian the essential util-linux package already provides "setpriv". Is there any reason to use su-exec instead of it? Ansgar

Bug#1003059: ITP: su-exec -- switch user and group id, setgroups and exec
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : su-exec Version: 0.2, latest commit 2019-02-26 Upstream Author : Natanael Copa * URL : https://github.com/ncopa/su-exec * License : MIT Description : switch user and group id, setgroups and exec This is an alternative to gosu written in C. It is minimal and already present in alpine linux. It would be useful to have it for container environments.
