Little bit OT: I am not sure, if I understood that correct, but as the manual says,
"su" is preserving the environment and "su -" is creating a new one. However, for becoming root, I am using "su -", but when I want to edit files with root privileges with a graphical editor (i.e. kwrite), I always need "su -p". But the manual says, "su" alone would preseve the environment. Where is my mistake? Best Hans > Wow, I never knew the su command used to have such misbehaviours on > Debian.
