The other recent problems you refer to have been common to both
computers, this one is a difference between them ... But they
are different computers. Box9 has three drives, Box6 only one
connected, etc. But I doubt those differences are the problem.
He'll have to trace it out. Normally "su" runs "/root/.bashrc" followed
by "/etc/bashrc". This strongly suggests his /root/.bashrc file has been
corrupted or his /etc/bashrc has some exotic lack of privileges. (Being
reckless with chmod can do strange things to a system.) It also means he
will not have the path setup, among other things, that he expects.
Normally "su -l" runs "/etc/profile" followed by "/root/.bash_profile"
followed by "/root/.bashrc" and lastly "/etc/bashrc". I suspect he will
see the same defect if he uses "su -" to get a login shell. It would be
worth the experiment.
Then he needs to look at the ROOT account's .bashrc file to see what has
changed. It should have this in it:
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
If it doesn't then that needs to get fixed.
