I have tested with bash, sh and csh. It seems the child process forked simply die irrespective of the shell. There is no change in the dot files for root: [root@tds sagara]# diff /root/.cshrc /usr/src/etc/root/dot.cshrc [root@tds sagara]# diff /root/.login /usr/src/etc/root/dot.login [root@tds sagara]# diff /root/.profile /usr/src/etc/root/dot.profile Here is the log message for "su -l": Jul 2 12:38:17 tds kernel: pid 943 (su), uid 0: exited on signal 11 Btw, what is "restart commands file for root"?
