This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------EanryzOwFEHnvyX2gb6DxPJ8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Oh!!! -c is a csh option.... Someone had to have created that command structure as a practical joke on a co-worker back in about 1975... Let's make the login user optional, but if you opt not to use it the next argument works completely differently. Now that I understand it, I see which parts of the man page I didn't read clearly. And then on top of that the linux su command actually has a -c option, so of course all those docs out there are leading in the wrong direction. Thanks for your help.
