Old su doesn't meet its specifications (i.e. manual page). Please see Bug#276419 for a detailed discussion. For example, according to the su manual page, $ su - userid -xs 'startup parameter' should start an interactive login shell with debug mode switched on and supply the additional positional argument "startup parameter" to it rather than starting an noninteractive login shell with the positional arguments "-c" "-xs startup parameter", i.e. a commandline "-xs startup parameter" and no additional positional arguments. With (old) su, you cannot pass additional positional arguments and options (other than "-c") to the shell. >I have concerns wrt shell quoting, Could you please explain more detailed?
