Description Andrew G. Morgan 2022-08-05 15:16:47 UTC 
Finish

   https://sites.google.com/site/fullycapable/su-without-root

Things still needed:

 - fix su[cap] to not generate bash errors (see   https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215926 for a related issue)
 - write something about minimal capabilities for the su binary.

I'll keep this bug open until I update the article.
Comment 2 Andrew G. Morgan 2022-08-06 16:03:16 UTC 
Documented article updated. Now that the article refers to the git clone at HEAD I didn't bother waiting for a release to complete it.
