Sonofagun! Still a couple of things here though.. First, the -c option is undocumented. If you get a usage string out of it, it won't list -c among the supported options, nor is it in the man page. Second, it doesn't seem to work in the absence of a username anymore, e.g. you can't say: su -c id To run the command as root. These two factors led me to believe that it was still unimplemented.
