I intuitively don't like that solution because if someone grabs my script to
play around with it, they will likely have a different host and su could be in
a different location from my host.
I tried compiling shadow at the end of chapter 5 and using that su - but it
doesn't work. It doesn't appear to execute the bashrc file in the package user
directory. I went back to try coreutils-8.17 and that version of su works okay.
I don't understand why at the moment.
What is likely to be the difference between the coreutils-8.17 version and the
shadow version of su, that I compiled, to make it behave this way?
