su(4)

Description

SULOG=filename

Log (in filename) successful and unsuccessful attempts to execute su.

CONSOLE=device

If a user executes su to become a privileged user on a device other than device, a printed message will appear on device to inform the administrator of that fact.

PATH=path_list

When a user executes su to become an unprivileged user, the user's path will be set to path_list. The default is /usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin.

SUPATH=path_list

When a user executes su to become a privileged user, the user's path will be set to path_list. The default is /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/ccs/bin.

PROMPT:

If this parameter exists and is set to No, the su command does not prompt for a password (even if one is defined for login_name). The invoking user, however, must still have appropriate privilege to execute su successfully. If this parameter does not exist, or is set to anything other than No (including NULL), su prompts for a password when invoked and validates the password (if one is defined for login_name).
