GNU su from the shellutils package has the `-l' option, secure su from the
secure-su package doesn't have it. BTW, the `-' option does the same thing
for both versions.

Would it be wise to file a wishlist bug against secure-su with a request
for this option (and other options secure-su lacks compared to GNU su)?
