That must be a bug in your version of su, since the manpage states it will
use the shell in the password file. In fact, on a Debian 1.3 system:
[defiant:root](~)> echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
[defiant:root](~)> su miquels -c 'echo $SHELL'
/usr/bin/zsh
[defiant:root](~)>
If I strace it:
setgid(10) = 0
setuid(2101) = 0
execve("/usr/bin/zsh", ["zsh", "-c", "echo $SHELL"], [/* 20 vars */]) = 0
A recent hamm system shows the same behaviour, btw
I realize all this doesn't help you very much (sorry) in a direct way but
hopefully it gives some more insight in the problem ..
Mike.
