17 /* Run a shell with the real and effective UID and GID and groups
18 of USER, default `root'.
20 The shell run is taken from USER's password entry, /bin/sh if
21 none is specified there. If the account has a password, su
22 prompts for a password unless run by a user with real UID 0.
24 Does not change the current directory.
25 Sets `HOME' and `SHELL' from the password entry for USER, and if
26 USER is not root, sets `USER' and `LOGNAME' to USER.
27 The subshell is not a login shell.
29 If one or more ARGs are given, they are passed as additional
30 arguments to the subshell.
32 Does not handle /bin/sh or other shells specially
33 (setting argv[0] to "-su", passing -c only to certain shells, etc.).
34 I don't see the point in doing that, and it's ugly.
36 This program intentionally does not support a "wheel group" that
37 restricts who can su to UID 0 accounts. RMS considers that to
41 -DSYSLOG_SUCCESS Log successful su's (by default, to root) with syslog.
42 -DSYSLOG_FAILURE Log failed su's (by default, to root) with syslog.
44 -DSYSLOG_NON_ROOT Log all su's, not just those to root (UID 0).
45 Never logs attempted su's to nonexistent accounts.
