This is what is supposed to happen and is driving me nuts, the Solaris and
HPUX su log the user that user-name that did the su and the user-name it
su'ed into. From what i can tell the older version of the Linux one did the
same. I can write a wrapper script or use a named pipe but it just seems a
bit unneeded.

I may end up trying to patch the su binary (But if you've seen my C you'll
understand why I'm hesitant ;))
