Hi, Rüdiger and Sean:
Just one word of advise. One of the reasons I crashed and burned everytime I
tried to grasp the details of su is that the different distros sometimes
purposedly try to subvert the usual behaviour. For instance: in Ubuntu, the
default .bashrc file includes the following lines at the top:
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
> [ -z "$PS1" ] && return
>
Which, basically, checks whether the default prompt string is defined (which
only happens if we are in a "real" interactive session), and exits if it's
not, *before configuring any environment variable*. In other words, if you
have your "matterhorn" user created and you add the necessary configuration
keys at the *bottom* of the file, relying that using "su -l -c 'command'",
that environment will be loaded, you'll find yourself cursing and shouting
at the screen, wondering why it doesn't work.
What I'm trying to say is: please make sure there's nothing "strange" in
your .bashrc, .bash_login, .bash_logout or similar files, which may be
altering the expected behaviour of your system. Also, keep in mind that
.bashrc is not the only script to run on login, not even the first. There's
generally a generic configuration script ("profile", typically) which run
first and then calls the particular user configuration script.
Good luck!
