When \fIuser\fP is specified, additional \fIargument\fPs can be supplied, in which case they are passed to the shell. -.sp -For backward compatibility, \fBsu\fP defaults to not change the current directory and to only set the environment variables \fBHOME\fP and \fBSHELL\fP (plus \fBUSER\fP and \fBLOGNAME\fP if the target \fIuser\fP is not root). It is recommended to always use the \fB\-\-login\fP option (instead of its shortcut \fB\-\fP) to avoid side effects caused by mixing environments. -.sp -This version of \fBsu\fP uses PAM for authentication, account and session management. Some configuration options found in other \fBsu\fP implementations, such as support for a wheel group, have to be configured via PAM. -.sp -\fBsu\fP is mostly designed for unprivileged users, the recommended solution for privileged users (e.g., scripts executed by root) is to use non\-set\-user\-ID command \fBrunuser\fP(1) that does not require authentication and provides separate PAM configuration. If the PAM session is not required at all then the recommended solution is to use command \fBsetpriv\fP(1). -.sp -Note that \fBsu\fP in all cases uses PAM (\fBpam_getenvlist\fP(3)) to do the final environment modification. Command\-line options such as \fB\-\-login\fP and \fB\-\-preserve\-environment\fP affect the environment before it is modified by PAM. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.sp -\fB\-c\fP, \fB\-\-command\fP=\fIcommand\fP -.RS 4 -Pass \fIcommand\fP to the shell with the \fB\-c\fP option. -.RE -.sp -\fB\-f\fP, \fB\-\-fast\fP -.RS 4 -Pass \fB\-f\fP to the shell, which may or may not be useful, depending on the shell. -.RE -.sp -\fB\-g\fP, \fB\-\-group\fP=\fIgroup\fP -.RS 4 -Specify the primary group.

This option is ignored if the option \fB\-\-login\fP is specified. -.RE -.sp -\fB\-P\fP, \fB\-\-pty\fP -.RS 4 -Create a pseudo\-terminal for the session. The independent terminal provides better security as the user does not share a terminal with the original session. This can be used to avoid TIOCSTI ioctl terminal injection and other security attacks against terminal file descriptors. The entire session can also be moved to the background (e.g., "su \-\-pty \- username \-c application &"). If the pseudo\-terminal is enabled, then \fBsu\fP works as a proxy between the sessions (copy stdin and stdout). -.sp -This feature is mostly designed for interactive sessions. If the standard input is not a terminal, but for example a pipe (e.g., echo "date" | su \-\-pty), then the ECHO flag for the pseudo\-terminal is disabled to avoid messy output. -.RE -.sp -\fB\-s\fP, \fB\-\-shell\fP=\fIshell\fP -.RS 4 -Run the specified \fIshell\fP instead of the default.

This solution can be used to control \fBsu\fP behavior by PAM configuration. If you want to use the \fBpam_lastlog\fP(8) module to print warning message about failed log\-in attempts then \fBpam_lastlog\fP(8) has to be configured to update the \fIlastlog\fP file as well.
