SU1(1)                  GENIX Programmer's Manual                  SU1(1)



      NAME
           su1 - substitute user id for one command

      SYNOPSIS
           su1 [ -userid ] command [ arg ... ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Su1 demands the password of the  specified  userid,  and  if  it  is
           given,  changes  to  that  userid and executes the specified command
           without changing the current directory or user environment.  The new
           user ID stays in force until the command exits.

           If no userid is specified, `root' is assumed.

      BUGS
           Local administrative rules cause restrictions to be  placed  on  who
           can  su1  to  `root', even with the root password.  These rules vary
           from site to site.
