Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sudo
In previous Ubuntu versions, a command like "sudo su -p -" switched to
the root user, but preserving the environment, like the $HOME variable.
In Natty, this doesn't seem to work. sudo alone and su alone can be
convinced to preserve the environment, but the combination of sudo su
doesn't seem to work anymore. Reading the man pages suggest me I'm doing
everything right, but I cannot achieve becoming root, while preserving
my environment.
The same commands on Lucid work like a charm.
