I have no idea what's wrong; it works fine for >me. (BTW: Just ``su -m'' is sufficient. No need to specify >"toor" or anything, because root is default.) Well, i just don't understand. I have my aliases in both .zshenv and .zshrc, and in both my home directory and in root. And when i type 'su -m' and my password, my only remaining aliases are: run-help=man which-command=whence I don't even know where these come from. Any ideas on what is going wrong? I made sure my home directories are correct in the passwd db, and i also removed the old 'toor' home directory. -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
