I never use su, preferring sudo. So I don't get bitten by this. I think it
only cropped up at install time, when heimdal was griping about an existing
su that it didn't know about: coreutils installs one, but I think the
solution was to prepend 'g' to all the identically-named binaries it
provides. That or tweak the portfile so that one of those ports doesn't
install the conflicting file. Does heimdal's su do anything that coreutils'
su doesn't?
