On second thought...you were asking about su. This app has not been patched 
for auditing...although I think it should be. In the meantime, you can put a 
watch on the app:

-w /bin/su -p x -k su-used

[sgrubb src]$ su - badacct
su: user badacct does not exist

[root ~]# ausearch --start recent -k su-used -i
