Description
After installing:
coreutils @6.9_0+with_default_names
I tried to 'su' to a different user (non-admin). Even when typing the correct password, it fails with:
su: incorrect password
Trying to 'su' to myself also fails (works using /usr/bin/su).

coreutils does not install su anymore.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using

A coreutils version using PAM: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/13267/
It uses coreutils-pam.patch:
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/base/coreutils/coreutils-pam.patch?rev=1.3&cvsroot=Core&only_with_tag=CURRENT&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
On a side note: The port
sudo
also uses PAM, unlike the coreutils source there is a--with-pam
option forconfigure
.
