- _S_u demands the password of the specified _u_s_e_r_i_d, and if it
- is given, changes to that _u_s_e_r_i_d and invokes the Shell _s_h(1)
- or _c_s_h(1) without changing the current directory. The user
- environment is unchanged except for HOME and SHELL, which
- are taken from the password file for the user being substi-
- tuted (see _e_n_v_i_r_o_n(7)). The new user ID stays in force
- until the Shell exits.
-
- If no _u_s_e_r_i_d is specified, ``root'' is assumed. Only users
- in the ``wheel'' group (group 0) can _s_u to ``root'', even
- with the root password. To remind the super-user of his
- responsibilities, the Shell substitutes `#' for its usual
- prompt.
-
- The --ff option prevents _c_s_h(1) from executing the .cshrc
- file; thus making _s_u start up faster.
-
- The -- option simulates a full login.
