>Description:
The man page for su(1) says the following:
"-c class
Use the settings of the specified login class. The login class
must be defined in login.conf(5). Only allowed for the super-
user."
However su actually treats the argument to -c as a command and runs it as the target user.
The actual behavior is describe correctly in the EXAMPLES section.
