I've been hit by a difference:
"su root" does not set PATH, so it does not include the sbin paths.

This is caused by the removal of ENV_SUPATH and ENV_PATH.

I think these variables were removed because the environment
should be handled otherwise (pam_env, shell rc file?).

Tomasz, do you think this is OK? Do you have an idea how this should be
fixed? (At least there is no mean to change the environment based on the
user with pam_env).


The difference was found by running aptitude. aptitude uses "su -c
\"...\"" and do not "su - -c \"...\"" so the path was not set, and some
utilities were not found (ldconfig, start-stop-daemon, install-info,
update-rc.d).

Christian, if needed, I can re-introduce the ENV_PATH/ENV_SUPATH
variables.
