no... i don't... 

as for the -m option...

i tried it but it doesn't work.

-m      Leave the environment unmodified.  The invoked shell is your
        login shell, and no directory changes are made.  As a security
        precaution, if the target user's shell is a non-standard shell
        (as defined by getusershell(3)) and the caller's real uid is non-
         zero, su will fail.

can someone explain what this means?  starting from the "As a security..."
until the end.
