rd - privilege elevator ======================= rd is a simple privilege elevator. requirements ------------ rd requires libcrypt to verify passwords. if password verification is disabled, libcrypt is no longer required. installation ------------ rd comes with a Makefile and config.mk file for building. edit config.mk to match your local setup (rd is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default; you may need to modify your $PATH). rd can be built and installed with the following command (run as root): make install configuration ------------- rd can be configured by modifying the macros defined in config.mk and (re)compiling the source code. building without the -DPASS macro is required for executing as users with locked passwords as it bypasses the password entry stage. building without the -DTERM macro may be required on some non-Linux systems.
