There was an innocent query about sudo in this list. (Never mind why
you want to do a sudo cd)

I tried it out and am frankly baffled.

Let us say I am NOT root, and I have a directory mydir.

cd mydir and it works fine (mydir has the same privileges like me,
since I own it).

sudo cd mydir and I get "sudo: cd: command not found" (after I give
root password).

OKay.. Now I do a su (and give the root password when asked).

Now do cd mydir and it works fine. Let my say that my default
privilege for all files/directories is 755.

I can't explain why this happens. Can some guru explain what is happening ?

Many thanks,

partha
