Is there a reason you cannot run "sudo -i" instead of "su -"?
That will cause sudo to change the cwd to the target user's homedir
and run a login shell. You would have to enumerate the shells you
want to allow in the rule but that doesn't seem unreasonable.
For example:
millert at linux-build:~$ pwd
/home/millert
millert at linux-build:~$ sudo -i
root at linux-build:~# pwd
/root
- todd
