Description dag 2016-04-13 18:56:47 UTC

Description of problem:
If an old sysv initscript contains a su command the script will fail when run through systemd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
219-27

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a script in /etc/init.d that uses /bin/su for one operation
2.enable script
3.start script

Actual results:
No user change happens

Expected results:
su should work as with init and change the user ID of the command run

Additional info:
Can we please throw out the whole systemd and make something better that doesn't destroy everything that has been working earlier?
