su login or using the RHS root login window

Post by marti » Sun, 14 Jun 1998 04:00:00



I would like to be able to login as root from another account.  I can do
so using su but linux won't let me use any programs or shell scripts
owned by root.  Furthermore when I type env under a root login
(logged in from another account) I get the other accounts information,
not roots.

When you su, invoke su as "su -" .
man su for details.
