       NAME
             su - su options file

       DESCRIPTION
             Options for the su command [see su(1M)] can be set or changed
             with keywords in /etc/default/su.  The following keywords are
             recognized by su:

             SULOG=filename      Log (in filename) successful and
                                 unsuccessful attempts to execute su.

             CONSOLE=device      If a user executes su to become a
                                 privileged user on a device other than
                                 device, a printed message will appear on
                                 device to inform the administrator of that
                                 fact.

             PATH=path_list      When a user executes su to become an
                                 unprivileged user, the user's path will be
                                 set to path_list.  The default is
                                 /usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin.

             SUPATH=path_list    When a user executes su to become a
                                 privileged user, the user's path will be
                                 set to path_list.  The default is
                                 /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/ccs/bin.

             PROMPT:             If this parameter exists and is set to No,
                                 the su command does not prompt for a
                                 password (even if one is defined for
                                 login_name).  The invoking user, however,
                                 must still have appropriate privilege to
                                 execute su successfully.  If this
                                 parameter does not exist, or is set to
                                 anything other than No (including NULL),
                                 su prompts for a password when invoked and
                                 validates the password (if one is defined
                                 for login_name).
