nologin: Prevent error from su -c
"su -c" can pass "-c" to nologin. It causes ugly error: su -c "echo OK" - man -nologin: invalid option -- 'c' Try '-nologin --help' for more information. Accept -c to prevent this error. Signed-off-by: Josef Cejka <jcejka@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.cz>
