Hi,

in SuSE 9.0 "su" resets the PATH and then sets it to some value
for root. Especially, the "." entry (that the users had) disappeared.

Calling "su" in SuSE 10.1 does not reset the path anymore, and so
root suddenly has "." in his path, although CWD_IN_ROOT_PATH is 
set to no. This is really really bad because you don't expect it.

"su -l" is not a good alternative because it changes you current
directory.

Can I revert to the old behaviour of su? Was resetting the path a
feature of su, or of the shell scripts in /etc/?

cu,
Frank
