Hmm, I'm beginning to think my 1.3.2 didn't come with su after all. I
was upgrading from 1.1.8 when I got 1.3.2. When I do su --version, it
tells me "GNU sh-utils 1.16"...and the sh-utils package that came with
1.3.2 is v2.0-2...and doesn't contain an su executable. Maybe it came
with b20 and I just held onto it when I upgraded from b20 to 1.1.8.
Anyway, the other message about the e-mail archive message that
elaborates on "it works not as you expect it to do" basically says use
"login" instead of su.
