How are you doing that? If you're doing that by giving create
token privileges or something like that to your account, that's
not a vaild approach.
If su is using a service under SYSTEM account, that's ok. But then
it's not needed at all since one can just use `ssh localhost' and a
running sshd to get the same.

Login shells get their name preceeded by a dash in argv[0] from their
parent:
-sh
-bash
