Yes, exactly what I wanted. If the new build option WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND

Slavek
to resolve bug
report 853 is ready a patch that selects between
"sudo su"
and "su" depending on the build option WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND.
But as we have noticed, also on Ubuntu is used
WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF.
This would mean that even Ubuntu would not be used "sudo".
That's why I asked what solution to choose for Ubuntu packaging?
1) Apply the patch and leave WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF
2) Apply the patch, but change WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=ON
3) Make a separate build option WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND
See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=853
I'm not an Ubuntu user but I'm fine with adding
WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND as a new option.
Would the default be WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND=OFF, meaning sudo-
based disto packagers would have to explicitly change that option
to WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND=ON?
