I can look into changing the code's behavior, but not on any specific
time table. ksu isn't a terribly high priority component for the
project.
>From your stated security motivation, it sounds like you are building a
scripted or programmatic system on top of ksu to allow specific
operations to be performed at an escalated privilege level. I don't
think ksu makes a great building block. Without knowing the full
parameters of the system I can't say what would make a better building
block, but perhaps remctl (
https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/ ) would be better.
