Matt,
I rebuilt shadow-4.0.14 using the lfs udev-branch instructions and this
version reprots as follows:
su: invalid option -- c
Usage: su [options] [login]
Options:
-h, --help display this help message and exit
-, -l, --login make the shell a login shell
-m, -p,
--preserve-environment do not reset environment variables, and keep
the same shell
-s, --shell SHELL use SHELL instead of the default in passwd
I wonder if it's the version, I looked at the changelog and saw nothing
to indicate this. Man su suggests that the error message is right and
this version doesn't support -c.
I'll do some more investigation later.
R.
