For \"su\", refer to the following site. \"su\" originally means \"super user\". Period!

In fact, some sites say that \"su\" is \"super user\", following the original meaning, and others say that \"su\" is \"switch user\", following the \"actual/practial\" meaning of the command \"su\".

However, you just understand the notion of \"su\" here, and, in the actual translation, \"su\" itself is used.

\"cd\", on the other hand, is apparent. This is originally a MS-DOS command to change directories.

\"cd to the /nasmcd/sbin directory\" is realized in the command line as:

user# cd /nasmcd/sbin
