I am having troubles activating my bash profile for root...

Specifically after changing some permissions:

drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel    512 Jun 24 23:34 .
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel    512 Jun 24 16:46 ..
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel      0 Jun 24 23:34 .addressbook
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel   2285 Jun 24 23:34 .addressbook.lu
-rw-------   1 root  wheel    133 Jun 25 10:37 .bash_history
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   1241 Jun 24 23:11 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel   1079 Jun 24 23:00 .bashrc
-rw-r-----   2 root  wheel    804 Jun 24 22:50 .cshrc
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel   2894 Jun 24 22:12 .history
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel    142 Jun 11 00:20 .klogin
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel    297 Jun 11 00:20 .login
-rw-r-----   1 root  wheel  14616 Jun 24 23:34 .pinerc
-rw-r-----   2 root  wheel    251 Jun 11 00:20 .profile
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel    512 Jun 24 21:02 .ssh
drwx------   2 root  wheel    512 Jun 24 23:43 mail

What would the tightest permissions I could have without loosing shell (bash in this
case) usability?

#su
su-2.05a#

Which should be:

#su
==[root] ~ # (which reads my .bash_profile)

I only get the second one when I do "su -" (which I don't understand).

And what is the difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile?

P.S. How do I add the server name to the prompt as well?


Thank you!
