d46e88abb6 policycoreutils: run_init: If open_init_pty is not available then just use exec
Sometimes using open_init_pty isn't possible.  So just call exec() if
that is the case.  We no longer ship open_init_pty in Fedora or RHEL6
since it was causing more problems then it was worth.  This fix makes
it optional to use the open_init_pty.

468bff0952 tree: Makefiles: syntax, convert all ${VAR} to $(VAR)
This is purely personal preference.  Most of the Makefiles use $() for
Makefile variables, but a couple of places use ${}.  Since this obscured
some later Makefile changes I figured I'd just make them all the same up
front.

3ed7221bf7 policycoreutils: run_init: clarification of the usage in the manual page
It's a very minor thing really, but I believe (on the basis of an
off-list question) that the manual page for policycoreutils/run_init can
be improved by the following short patch which aims to further clarify
the intended usage of such tool and mention that it caters for one
(somewhat hidden) compile-time option.

Subject: policycoreutils: The error message on forkpty() failure is not clear or useful.
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 09:40:58 -0500

Hi,

        This has been reported against the Debian BTS.

        The current error message when forkpty() fails is not clear or
 useful. (Arguably, the erro message in the child branch cold also be
 improved)  The following patch makes indicate what went wrong.  Probably
 something better than this could be devised, but this is still a lot
 better than the current code.
