1 The policy on the demo machine is very old. Newer revisions of the
2 policy fixes this problem. IIRC the problem is that you can execute su,
3 but not read it, so the process blows up. There isn't anything wrong
4 with the su binary or glibc, etc. We're already preparing a new demo
5 machine with the new API, with the current policy.
