I addressed this in the thread.

And we continue to tell you that you're wrong.  su behaves the same
way when switching to any other user as it does for root.  Stop
spreading misinformation.

Not big on reading what I put.  It’s all there.  Regardless how often you say ‘su’ is the same as ‘su fred’, it is not.  Stop spreading misinformation.


Look, in the following four command lines executed in the shell:

su

su fred

su - fred

su -l fred

- in all four of them:

"su" is a command

"fred" is an argument (wherever it is present)

"-" (surrounded by spaces on both sides) and "-l" are command options

This is standard terminology used in UNIX, Linux, etc for several decades. And finally, RTFM, please.

And also, can we close this thread, please.

Valeri


Cheers, Bee
