That was exactly my reaction. I don't think that it's acceptable to have a major (unannounced) change in behaviour for an essential system utility like "/bin/su". some discussion here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833256#90 quote: Debian would have to add "ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes" to "/etc/login.defs" to preserve its current behavior. current source code reference: https://sources.debian.org/src/util-linux/2.32-0.3/login-utils/su-common.c/#L980 It seems that the previous behaviour can be restored, without source code modifications, simply by changing a config file. That would seem to be by far the best option. -- Ian Bruce
