If I'm not mistaken the shell is not invoked until after login. so if you did su - <user> Password: <type in password> password correct = log in and log out again (because there is no shell) password incorrect = password incorrect message am i mistaken here? I just started at a new job here and don't have root yet so I can't test it and I'm curious!
