Please provide any additional information below.
This is because when authenticating via "su" you use the command "su username-c
cd". On some systems, such as ALT Linux, the default in the performance of "su"
retains all the previous user environment variables and commands you use will
not work because of the fact that the new user does not have access to the old
home directory (privious user $HOME). To work correctly, use "su - username",
while executed login and user correctly enters her home directory. This method
is more universal and suitable for all systems, while used today relies on
undefined behavior by default.
Default behavior of su:

HINT: In auth.py (line 191), replace string from:
return [self._cfg.su, username, "-c", cmd]
to:
return [self._cfg.su, "-", username, "-c", cmd]
