In a recent discussion it was pointed out that the man page for 'su' is badly written. For example, the difference between "# su abc" and "#su - abc" does not come out clearly. I think we should modify it. What do you say?

Note that in Fedora 10 onwards, the path has been modified so ther eis no effective difference between su and su - by default anymore.

If you think, it needs to be clarified, file a bug report with the suggested wording.
