bash – “cannot execute binary file” when using su
The following works.
$ ls -d /tmp
/tmp@
But if I try to execute it with su it doesn’t work.
$ su otheruser ls -d /tmp
Password:
/bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file
Then, if I become the user, it works again.
$ su - otheruser
Password:
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

$ ls -d /tmp
/tmp@
Any idea what’s happening here? I’m running Monterey on an Intel Mac.
