b6654957c3 Attempt to clear up some confusion in the following example, by stating 
the '-c' argument is passed to the shell, not to su(1), which would
indicate the login class.

	'su -m <user> -c <command>'

9ea29562d9 - add the -m option to the example commands because they would fail w/o it 
as the ``man'' user does not have a valid shell by default.

1494905bb6 Add a new '-s' option to su(1): if the flag is present, attempt to 
also set the user's MAC label as part of the user credential setup
by setting setusercontext(3)'s SETMAC flag.  By default, change only
traditional process properties.

5b3771f13c Deconvolute the authentication mess, and hand total responsiblity 
for authentication to PAM. This meens that WHEELSU-type logic can
now be effected in the pam.conf "su" configuration stack. While here,
clean up the mess that the code had assumed over years of hacking by
folks using different styles. ANSIfy.

There is more policy in here that can be handed over to PAM. This will
be revisited.

avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

Do it right this time and also explain this behaviour in the man
