Thanx for the answer. runuser seems to be working ok, and we're probably
going to replace sudo in the forecoming install scripts. (Actually, from
what I've learnt, it's just su without correct_password() )

When do you think runuser goes mainstream? Because, as far as I have
checked, it's only in FC3 with selinux (not in Debian, and not in
Gentoo).

Thanks again for the prompt answer,
