Re: I can't find command su.exe


Hmm, I'm beginning to think my 1.3.2 didn't come with su after all.  I 
was upgrading from 1.1.8 when I got 1.3.2.  When I do su --version, it 
tells me "GNU sh-utils 1.16"...and the sh-utils package that came with 
1.3.2 is v2.0-2...and doesn't contain an su executable.  Maybe it came 
with b20 and I just held onto it when I upgraded from b20 to 1.1.8.

Anyway, the other message about the e-mail archive message that 
elaborates on "it works not as you expect it to do" basically says use 
"login" instead of su.
