Yall understand that what actually changed is a symlink? That
systemd-runis now linked fromrun0, and that's enough to make a SUID-less sudo?Basically.
systemd-runwas already able to do it, all that really changed is the interface for it. The change torun.cin the patch itself was <400LOC, and the entire patch was <1.4k lines with most being docs, tests and utils for coloring the terminal.Didn't know this, thanks for sharing!
