(what an ugly Subject: line)

OSF/1 (V2.1 with enhanced security) "su" spits out

  su: may not be called from rc script

Whenever we log in via klogin or eklogin (latest Cygnus CNS).  Works
fine with standard rlogin, works fine on an OSF/1 system without
enhanced security, and re-logging in with "login" works around the
problem.

I'm at a loss as to what's different about klogin/eklogin vs. rlogind
(aside from the fact that DEC didn't make them...), and why this bogus
error is being spat out.  Help?!?
