WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING YOU ARE ABOUT TO INSTALL SETUID CODE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Installing sus is not like installing other software. You are about to install a setuid binary, and worse, it's a setuid binary designed to run other programs with elevated privilages. You should be nervous. You MUST read the DISCLAIMER before installing this program. Sus is developed under solaris and is known to compile and has had some testing under linux (ubuntu edgy eft and fiesty fawn). To install under linux, you will need to have the PAM development packages (libpam0g or similar) installed as well as ncurses (libncurses5-dev or similar). Ubuntu at least does not install these by default. The install is pretty primative (sorry about that) but easy because there is only a single binary and a man page. There are only 2 files to edit for building sus. Edit parameters.h and change anything you need to (probably nothing). Then run make using either the solaris or linux makefiles. EG make -f makefile.linux Run make. If sucessful, run "make install". Build your control file and you are away. To install the man pages, try "make install_man". There are some sample control files in the distribution, susers.simple (will suit a home machine with minimal changes) and susers.sample which is designed to show some of the capabilities of sus. WARNING: obviously the configuration of sus has massive implications in terms of your system security. Check your configuration carefully. You have been warned.
