yes, i meant using sudo in a way that gives you a shell. > > also, does it make a difference if you use su; vs su -; > Using 'su -' gives me a completely different history, i think it is from > directly logging into root from a console long time ago. ah, not i think i see what your problem is: you are talking about the history while in the su shell, not after coming back from su. i didn't expect that, because i never use su like that :-) anyways, i think you are setting yourself up for trouble if you want to share the history between your user and root. the problem is that for each user you get a seperate fishd process, and the way you use it you somehow mangle the same history with two fishd processes. i'd worry about unintended sideeffects, especially with root being involved. that said, the specific problem you are having still sounds like a wierd bug of some kind because it doesn't happen everywhere.
