hi Dave and Jim and Teodoro hope you don't mind I reply your inquiries at once
sup won't ever have a package, so I'm not worried about the namespace at all. It does not make sense to have a sup package, is really a tool for distro makers, people preparing containers, online services ran in a chroot, embedded devices and such. sup is different from doas, because doas is configured at runtime: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man5/doas.conf.5 while sup security model is based on the fact it has its settings compiled in, so when one put the binary as suid, one can be sure it will only execute the programs it has been built for. yes I contacted pancake but received no reply. meanwhile I really needed sup and to apply some modifications to it (mostly fix the LD_SO_PRELOAD vulnerability and add hashing) so rather than debate about this I just went forward with my plans. the last update being in 2011 and the copyleft notice suggested me this won't offend anyone. We may all agree this wonderful suckless tool deserves more lovance. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
