Description:   Opened: 2006-01-08 17:27 0000 
sys-apps/shadow has a getopts() related bug which breaks the -c option which is
used by some scripts, so people might depend on it. This bug is also mentioned
in the official change log: ftp://ftp.pld.org.pl/software/shadow/ChangeLog

temporary solution: downgrade to sys-apps/shadow-4.0.13

the ChangeLog lists fixes for -c, it doesnt mention any bugs

Well I don't konw if the changes intended to modify the -c option but if you
want it to work now, you have to specify the user, even if you want to su to
root : 

- before : su -c foo bar => executes foo bar using root privileges
- after : su -c foo bar => -c isn't a recognized option, but su root -c foo bar
will still work

you could use `su - -c foo bar` or `su -- -c foo bar`, but yes, `su -c foo bar`
should work

grabbed a fix from upstream cvs and added to 4.0.14-r1
