    Okay, I've seen mention of this but no real fix.

    I have a brand new blade 150. I created a user named dave and gave him
    tcsh as his shell. When I type 'su - dave' nothing happens...that is until
    I hit ctrl-c. Then I'm logged in. 'su dave' w/o the dash works fine. 'su -
    dave' when my default shell is bash is no problem.

    Any ideas?

    This is solaris 8 with 108528-21 patch level...
