 Also problematic:  /usr/bin/su on solaris doesn't support '-m'
                      and /usr/bin/su - <user> -c '<cmd args>' does not
 execute if the user has /usr/bin/false for shell (like do all the
 daemons whose startup script is installed in /etc/rc.d)
 
 seems heimdal provides gnu 'su' which works in the above cases
