Hi all, i'm trying to get my aliases from my user account to transfer when i su -m to root. I don't want to attach all my config files, so which ones should i post to see what is wrong? All four are identical (all contain aliases) and .zshenv contains some environment settings. When i su -m, only the two built-in aliases survive. All others are gone. With bash, they survive. Also, when i first enabled the toor account, it acted just like root. Then, when i added a /home/toor directory and startup scripts, i could change my shell for toor without affecting root. (Which is the whole point, IIUC, to have a root account with a shell besides csh or sh). Now that i removed the home directory, the two accounts act identical. CHanging one password (toor) also changes root, and vice-versa. Is this normal? How can i have toor use a different shell without adding a toor home directory, which i am not supposed to need? -=> jm <=- "Doors to the pleasures of heaven or hell, and i didn't care which...."
