'su' used to be an executable that worked correctly from a SYSTEM-owned shell, but now it's a shell script that simply prints a "not supported" message. Is it possible to resurrect the old "su" executable (that perhaps prints the same message if run from a non-SYSTEM account)?
I know. It has been that way for many months (at least on my system). I'm surprised you just now noticed it. It is a bit stupid, as su worked if run under a system account, or if run under a user account with the proper priveleges. (Someplace in this mailing list are the instructions). (I know, I gave my main account those once. That let me do 'su SYSTEM' to get a system owned shell. :) )
