My original query:
>I was just curious why there are 2 su binaries on my 2.5.1 box:
>
>(61) $ ls -l /usr/bin/su /sbin/su
>-r-sr-x--- 1 root su 342448 Oct 7 22:01 /sbin/su*
>-r-sr-x--- 1 root su 15908 Oct 7 22:02 /usr/bin/su*
The answer:
From: Casper Dik <casper@holland.Sun.COM>
One is statically linked, the otehr dynamically.
2.6 changes this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 24 1998 /sbin/su -> ../usr/bin/su
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root sys 18360 Jan 8 1998 /usr/bin/su
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 423816 Jul 16 1997 /sbin/su.static
(su.static is always called as root)
