su

Minimal su without pam dependency

This app is called su to make is easier to replace GNU/su. All this app does is change the current shell into another user's shell, provided you know his's password. If you don't specify a user, it defaults to root. This app is very minimal and has no bloat. This app also supports the -c and -p/-m flags. Everything between -c and the next flag, if any, is treated as part of the command. If -c in speciffied, but no command is given, -c is ignored. The user, if speciffied, must pe the first argument. This app has less that 200 lines of code.

Configuration
