One thing to try is to remove (or rename) /etc/bash*, ~/.bash*, etc so bash comes up in a pristine environment in both your current user's shell and in root's directory. That should remove any configuration issues that may be causing the problem. BTW, I'd recommend sudo instead of su. You have a lot more in the way of control. That said, you do need to get su working properly as a part of a robust system. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
