hi

i wanted to kill all suid programs from my chroot, and faced that shadow 
package, which is required by most of programs who create/delete users 
(sysvinit, opensshd).

what about splitting the suid passwd to separate package out of shadow 
package? so can have /usr/sbin/{user,group}{add,del} in system and no suid 
passwd program?

yes, i could ofcourse mount nosuid that chroot partition, if it didn't reside 
on my main root filesystem :)
