NAME
       su  -  substitute user id temporarily

SYNOPSIS
       su [ userid ]

DESCRIPTION
       Su  demands  the	 password of the specified userid, and if it is given,
       changes to that userid and invokes the Shell sh(1) without changing the
       current	directory  or  the user environment (see environ(5)).  The new
       user ID stays in force until the Shell exits.

       If no userid is specified, `root' is assumed.  To remind the super-user
       of  his	responsibilities,  the	Shell  substitutes  `#'	 for its usual
       prompt.
