+From the README:
+
+   su2 is a great program for anyone that has anything to do with
+system adiministration.  su2 gives you the ability to masquerade with
+the UID of other users.  You use own password to switch.  Probably the
+biggest benefit of su2 is that you retain your own customized shell
+environment.
+
+   For the most part, this program is used by system administrators to
+become root, but su2 has been written to enable much more flexibility
+than this.  Regular users can put a .su2rc file in their home
+directory to enable other users to become them.  While this may sound
+odd, it is sometimes useful to allow a number of users to masquerade
+around with the uid of restricted accounts.  One such example of this
+is a 'www' account which is a common occurance with the proliferation
+of the web.  While the www user's password may be starred out to
+disable direct logins, root could put a set of usernames into
+~www/.su2rc to enable these users to 'become' www and do Web
+adiministration.  [This feature can be disabled if you are worried
+about 'account sharing.']
