Now, when i run 'su -m' it should simply give me the UID of root and leave everything alone, correct? Does it start a new invocation of zsh? I just don't understand why none of the aliaes or other commands are executed when i 'su -m'. -=> jm <=- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
