Well, I didn't say that this is the right solution. But what is *TRUE*
is that the check for -n is *WRONG* in any case, so it is useless to
have this check! Why would there be a check for -n if the variable is
either "su " or "su username"? In any case it is -n! So there is for
sure a failure.

Best wishes

Arthur felt at a bit of a loss. There was a whole Galaxy
of stuff out there for him, and he wondered if it was
churlish of him to complain to himself that it lacked just
two things: the world he was born on and the woman he
loved.
