		       is the minute number.

       result	       The result of the  su(1M) command.  A ` + ' sign is displayed in this field if the su attempt was successful; otherwise	 a
		       ` - ' sign is displayed.

       port	       The name of the terminal device from which  su(1M) was executed.

       user	       The user id of the user executing the  su(1M) command.
