This seems to be a change in the last week or two (sorry I can't be
more specific) which affects the '-' option in su(1).

A simple ``su -'' does not seem to work, while using the full option
``su -l root'' does work.  The man page still says that '-' is the same
as '-l', but the proof is not in the pudding.

I looked at the CVS repository, but there doesn't seem to be any
change to the su(1) code which would affect this.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

Ta.

Richard.
