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.
