.SH SYNOPSIS

.if n .sp
..
.B Su
can be used to temporarily run a shell under the identity of the superuser
or another user.  Unless the caller is a member of the operator group, one
is prompted for the password of the user-to-be.  Calls that need a password
are logged, whether they succeed or not.  The default user is
.BR root .
Further arguments are handed to the shell.  By default the shell started is
the shell of the invoker, and the environment is passed on as is.
.PP
The activities of
.B su
are logged through
.BR syslog (3)
under Minix-vmd.

Constructs a new environment consisting of the
.BR PATH ,
.BR USER ,
.BR LOGNAME ,
.BR HOME ,

directory is changed to the user home directory, the shell of the user-to-be

sign.
