/etc/default/su
This file contains values for the following parameters
affecting the use of the
su(1M)
command:
SULOG-
The pathname of a file in which you can log all attempts to execute
su.
CONSOLE-
If a user executes su
to become a privileged user
on a device other than device,
a message appears on device
to inform the administrator of that fact.
PATH-
When a user executes su
to become an unprivileged user,
the user's path is set to path_list.
The default is ``/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin''.
SUPATH-
When a user executes su
to become a privileged user,
the user's path is set to path_list.
The default is
``/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/ccs/bin.''
PROMPT-
If this parameter exists and is set to No,
the su command does not prompt for a password
(even if one is defined for the login_name).
The invoking user, however,
must still have appropriate privilege to execute
su successfully.
If this parameter does not exist
or is set to anything other than
``No'' (including NULL),
su prompts for a password when invoked
and validates the password
(if one is defined for login_name).
