[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#288827: So, should su handle SIGINT or not?

[Christian Perrier]

In #288827, the bug submitter suggests that we remove the (Debian
only) change which makes su ignore SIGINT. He suggests that the
rationale for this change (making automatic password guess easier as
this allow bypassing the login failure delay) is a bit weak...and
anyway that su does not ignore other signals such as SIGQUIT.

I tend to think he's right and the change is somewhat
overzealous. However, I'm quite reluctant for taking the decision to
revert somethign done by a previous maintainer.

Any thoughts before we ask for advices in -devel or any other place=A0?

PS=A0: upstream su DOES NOT ignore SIGINT.
