Hi
Got a quick question.
I have 2 FreeBSD boxes which are confusing me.
The first box is FreeBSD 3.4 and when I telnet in, I run bash as my shell
and have an alias that loads up perfectly when I log in. Then I su and the
alias follows me.
Problem is, the other box also FreeBSD 3.4 and I also run bash and have the
same alias set which works perfectly. But when I su all my aliases are
lost. The only way I can get them back is by sourcing my .profile
Is there something in the root setup or my personal setup that will take my
aliases with me after I su ?
Thanks
Chris
