Ok, so while using login instead of su is possible in some cases (it
seems windows xp is not one of them), easiest is using ssh.

Now, because ssh has a remarkably clumsy command line to be used as
su, maybe we can include or advise a script or alias like this:

   #!/bin/sh
   # su
   exec ssh $1@$(hostname)

or
   
   alias su='ssh $(hostname) -l'
   
Greetings,
Jan.
