Subject: [PATCH 1/2] su-common.c: prefer /etc/default/su over login.defs
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 01:28:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4163e3c3-9814-232e-2d73-b7751f38d360@suse.cz> (raw)

su(1) documentation says:
       /etc/default/su  command specific logindef config file
       /etc/login.defs  global logindef config file

It indirectly indicates that /etc/default/su should take precedence
over /etc/login.defs.

But the reverse is true. It is not possible to define ENV_PATH in
/etc/login.defs and then make su specific customization in
/etc/default/su. We need to change read order to match the documented
behavior.
