- -----------------------------------------
-
-
- This is a package of small shell programming utilities. They are mostly
- compliant with POSIX.2, where applicable.
-
- The programs that can be built with this package are:
-
- basename chroot date dirname echo env expr factor false groups
- hostname id logname nice nohup pathchk printenv printf pwd seq
- sleep stty su tee test true tty uname users who whoami yes
-
- Some programs (chroot, nice, nohup, uname, and stty) are built and
- installed only on systems that have the features to support them.
- su is always built, but it is installed only if the installer can
- create setuid-root programs.
-
- If you want to install the su program separately, you can run
- `./configure && make check && make install' as usual; that will
- install all programs except su if you installed as a non-privileged
- user. Then run `make install-root' as root to install only su.
-
- If you want to enable logging of successful and failed su-to-root
- invocations, you should run configure like this:
-
- env CFLAGS='-DSYSLOG_SUCCESS -DSYSLOG_FAILURE' ./configure
-
- If you want to log attempts to su to non-root accounts also, add
- -DSYSLOG_NON_ROOT.
-
- See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
-
- See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
-
- nice, stty, and uname require facilities not available on all systems;
- `configure' detects this and does not try to compile them on systems
- where those facilities are missing.
- nohup requires nice.
- su will be installed only if you do `make install' as root.
-
- Many thanks to all of the people who have taken the time to submit
- problem reports and fixes. Contributed changes are attributed in the
- ChangeLog file.
-
- Note that the man pages are now automatically generated from templates
- and from the --help usage message. Patches to the template files (man/*.x)
- are welcome. However, the authoritative documentation is in texinfo form
- in the doc directory.
-
- These programs all recognize the `--version' option. When reporting
- bugs, please include in the subject line both the package name/version
- and the name of the program for which you found a problem.
-
- For general documentation on the coding and usage standards
- this distribution follows, see the GNU standards document
- http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards.html, and the documentation
- for automake and autoconf:
