.Sh NAME

|
.Nm su
|
|
.Nd substitute user identity
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl Kflm
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar login-class
|
|
.Op Ar login Op Ar "shell arguments"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
requests the Kerberos password for
|
|
.Ar login
|
|
(or for
|
|
.Dq Ar login Ns .root ,
|
|
if no login is provided), and switches to
|
|
that user and group ID after obtaining a Kerberos ticket granting ticket.
|
|
A shell is then executed, and any additional
|
|
.Ar "shell arguments"
|
|
after the login name
|
|
are passed to the shell.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will resort to the local password file to find the password for
|
|
.Ar login
|
|
if there is a Kerberos error.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is executed by root, no password is requested and a shell
|
|
with the appropriate user ID is executed; no additional Kerberos tickets
|
|
are obtained.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, if the user enters the password "s/key", authentication
|
|
will use the S/Key one-time password system as described in
|
|
.Xr skey 1 .
|
|
S/Key is a Trademark of Bellcore.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default, the environment is unmodified with the exception of
|
|
.Ev USER ,
|
|
.Ev HOME ,
|
|
.Ev SHELL ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev SU_FROM .
|
|
.Ev HOME
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev SHELL
|
|
are set to the target login's default values.
|
|
.Ev USER
|
|
is set to the target login, unless the target login has a user ID of 0,
|
|
in which case it is unmodified.
|
|
.Ev SU_FROM
|
|
is set to the caller's login.
|
|
The invoked shell is the target login's.
|
|
With the exception of
|
|
.Ev SU_FROM
|
|
this is the traditional behavior of
|
|
.Nm "" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
Do not attempt to use Kerberos to authenticate the user.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Specify a login class.
|
|
You may only override the default class if you're already root.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
If the invoked shell is
|
|
.Xr csh 1 ,
|
|
this option prevents it from reading the
|
|
.Dq Pa .cshrc
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Simulate a full login.
|
|
The environment is discarded except for
|
|
.Ev HOME ,
|
|
.Ev SHELL ,
|
|
.Ev PATH ,
|
|
.Ev TERM ,
|
|
.Ev USER ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev SU_FROM .
|
|
.Ev HOME
|
|
.Ev SHELL ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev SU_FROM
|
|
are modified as above.
|
|
.Ev USER
|
|
is set to the target login.
|
|
.Ev PATH
|
|
is set to
|
|
is set to the path specified in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/login.conf
|
|
file (or to the default of
|
|
.Dq Pa /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/local/bin
|
|
).
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
is imported from your current environment.
|
|
The invoked shell is the target login's, and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will change directory to the target login's home directory.
|
|
.It Fl
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Leave the environment unmodified.
|
|
The invoked shell is your login shell, and no directory changes are made.
|
|
As a security precaution, if the target user's shell is a non-standard
|
|
shell (as defined by
|
|
.Xr getusershell 3 )
|
|
and the caller's real uid is
|
|
non-zero,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will fail.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
options are mutually exclusive; the last one specified
|
|
overrides any previous ones.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only users in group
|
|
.Dq wheel
|
|
(normally gid 0),
|
|
as listed in
|
|
.Pa /etc/group ,
|
|
can
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to
|
|
.Dq root ,
|
|
unless group wheel does not exist or has no members.
|
|
(If you do not want anybody to be able to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to
|
|
.Dq root ,
|
|
make
|
|
.Dq root
|
|
the only member of group
|
|
.Dq wheel ,
|
|
which is the default.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For sites with very large user populations, group
|
|
.Dq wheel
|
|
can contain the names of other groups that will be considered authorized
|
|
to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to
|
|
.Dq root .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default (unless the prompt is reset by a startup file) the super-user
|
|
prompt is set to
|
|
.Dq Sy \&#
|
|
to remind one of its awesome power.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
Environment variables used by
|
|
.Nm "" :
|
|

|
|

|
|
.It Ev TERM

.Nm
|
|
unless the user ID is 0 (root).
|
|
.El
