There is no setenv binary. It is built into (t)csh and for
bash you have to use the builtin 'export'. The manpage is
about a library function of that name (which you cannot use
from your shell).
If your su command fails this is an error (in su?). So you
should check, what su is (use the 'type' command from bash,
'which' from (t)csh).
Hope I could help. Bye,
Bjoern.
