Hello,
I've just changed to shadow-4.1.5 and it's caused me a problem. When I
launch Xorg I do it with a bootscript like this:

user=andy
su - ${user} -c "xinit /etc/X11/xinitrc &> ~/.x-session-errors"

With shadow-4.1.4.3 it worked fine but with shadow-4.1.5 I get an error:
  su: Cannot drop the controlling terminal

Google led me to this message on the Pkg-shadow-devel mailing list:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-shadow-devel/2012-February/009151.html
Which describes the problem quite well. The patch in that message
works. I've attached it here in case you think it worth adding to the
book.

Andy
