NAME              su -- become privileged user

SYNOPSIS          su password

DESCRIPTION       su allows one to become the super--user, who has all sorts
                  of marvelous powers. In order for su to do its magic, the
                  user must pass as an argument a password. If the password
                  is correct, su will execute the shell with the UID set to
                  that of the super--user. To restore normal UID privileges,
                  type an end--of--file to the super--user shell
