No comment on how Unix does, but if you run "whoami" after running su, you get
root, instead, if you run the sample application with su (again, **not** sudo)
you get the regular user's name.

I tried to run whoami in 3 different conditions:

djechelon at MONSTR:~> whoami
djechelon
djechelon at MONSTR:~> sudo whoami
root's password:
root
djechelon at MONSTR:~> su
Password: 
MONSTR:/home/djechelon # whoami
root

Instead in the previous example, running mono Whoami.exe after being su returns
djechelon, which is inconsistent to whoami command. That's the point...
