I cannot reproduce this. In fact,
su root -c date > /tmp/date
hangs waiting for input.
orion % su root -c date > /tmp/date
^C
su: Sorry
orion % less /tmp/date
Password:
orion %
Also, you appear to be running an unpatched version of FreeBSD 8.0,
subject to the rtld exploit (among a few others). I'd suggest upgrading.
For what it's worth:
orion % uname -a
FreeBSD orion 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #20 r202187: Wed Jan 13
11:51:15 EST 2010 r...@orion:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ORION amd64
