for responding. It turns out there is a bug in the Enhanced Security
libraries which is causing su to fail with that rather amusing message, "su:
may not be called from rc script".

A patch is available. I'm having a hard time *finding* it, but that's
normal. Since my maintenance contract seems to have expired, this is going
to be a little more difficult than usual.
