+.TH SU "1" "June 2012" "util-linux" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+su \- run a command with substitute user and group ID
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B su
+[options...] [\-] [user [args...]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B su
+allows to run commands with substitute user and group ID.
+.PP
+When called without arguments
+.B su
+defaults to running an interactive shell as
+.IR root .
+.PP
+For backward compatibility
+.B su
+defaults to not change the current directory and to only set the
+environment variables
+.B HOME
+and
+.B SHELL
+(plus
+.B USER
+and
+.B LOGNAME
+if the target
+.I user
+is not root). It is recommended to always use the
+.B \-\-login
+option (instead it's shortcut
+.BR \- )
+to avoid side effects caused by mixing environments.
+.PP
+This version of
+.B su
+uses PAM for authentication, account and session management. Some
+configuration options found in other
+.B su
+implementations such as e.g. support of a wheel group have to be
+configured via PAM.
