Hello, To fix this problem, we might want to add -m option to the example commands. Does this work for you guys?

- add the -m option to the example commands because they would fail w/o it
as the ``man'' user does not have a valid shell by default.

the man page for the "su" command contains the examples su man -c catman Runs the command catman as user man. You will be asked for man's password unless your real UID is 0. su man -c 'catman /usr/share/man /usr/local/man' Same as above, but the target command consists of more than a sin- gle word and hence is quoted for use with the -c option being passed to the shell. (Most shells expect the argument to -c to be a single word). These examples do not work because man has the nologin shell, producing the results mail# su man -c catman This account is currently not available. Fix: These examples should be changed or removed. Since there doesn't appear to be any BSD equivalent of the linux --shell parameter for su another user & command will have to be chosen.
