That should be:
Are you using "su" or "su -"?
The former will retain your "environment" while the later will give
you root's "environment". I suspect you were using the former.

Hi Jason:
Are you using "su" or "su -"?
The former will etain your "environment" while the later will give
you root's "environment". I suspect you were using the former.

When I log onto my lunix box as a
user and use su root to change to the root account, I
can’t use commands like chkconfig, services,
etc … to start and stop services.
Is there any way I can change the way I am doing things so I will be
able to use these commands over a telnet session?
