Thanks for your submission.

I've added su events to:

commit 5e38f9dab2a89e8839829f7740485784accb3baa
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>
Date:   Mon Jul 26 18:01:27 2010 +0200

    su: added su login/logout/failure rules
    
    This patch covers su on Linux with PAM.
    
    Submitted-By: Patrick H.


The others I still have to mark up. Anyone who could perhaps give a hand
at marking up the patterns that Patrick submitted? Would be appreciated.
