I do recall your heimdal / su problem from earlier on the list, of

broken if it installs a su that doesn't work like the system's su.
You should work with either the authors of the heimdal software or
the maintainer of the heimdal port to resolve it.
I never use su, preferring sudo. So I don't get bitten by this. I think it only cropped up at install time, when heimdal was griping about an existing su that it didn't know about: coreutils installs one, but I think the solution was to prepend 'g' to all the identically-named binaries it provides. That or tweak the portfile so that one of those ports doesn't install the conflicting file. Does heimdal's su do anything that coreutils' su doesn't?
