| You have to rebuild sys-apps/shadow-4.11.1 with USE=su and sys-apps/util-linux-2.37.3 with USE=-su. |

Other way around. build util-linux with su and shadow with -su.
| Quote: | sys-apps/util-linux: enable su by default
shadow 4.10+ is deprecating 'su', so we're switching
to util-linux's implementation by default. |

That's the way things are set here...
Before switching su USE, bumping here to make sure I'm not mistaking something.

After reading the above bug report (dated 26 jan 2022), I decided to postpone rebuild since it seems my switch would also require util-linux to USE=suid for equivalent feature(?).
Feeling a little unconfortable here...

| My USE flag for sys-apps/util-linux has been "-suid" and momentarily "-su -suid". So I'm still feeling comfortable. |

shadow[su] allows user to go root here.
util-linux[su,suid] seems required to allow the same.
It will bring additional features to non root such as mount which shadow[su] doesn't allows here.
Can't tell about wall/write, since I never used it, iirc.

suid USE on sys-apps/util-linux is nothing to be feared.
By default, it only adds to mount. With su USE, su also is set with it. If tty-helpers USE, wall and write also get suid.
These apps generally need it so please don't remove it. |

grknight,
Nice clarification.
util-linux[su -suid] would prevent tofrom non root GUI env to perform maintenance, i.e. to install via emerge, iiuc.

As far as size is concerned: | Code: | luc@amd64 ~ $ ll /bin/su
-rws--x--x 1 root root 41512 janv. 26 07:36 /bin/su [shadow no-lto]
luc@amd64 ~ $ ll /bin/su
-rws--x--x 1 root root 52144 janv. 26 21:32 /bin/su [util-linux lto] |
