Subject: su: -l and -p should not be used together
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 12:57:05 +0200 [thread overview]

A while ago, there has been a bug report to coreutils regarding
the unlucky use of the -p and the -l option (or a bare "-") with su:
http://bugs.gnu.org/10317
As su is not part of coreutils anymore, I'm hereby closing the bug
there, and forward this issue to util-linux where su is now maintained.
@Karel:
do you think it's worth a warning/error?
However, the agreement was that the behaviour should at least
be documented.
Have a nice day,
Berny
