This is because you missed the part where I said the '-' was crucial
to the command. If you just use su to access the root account, then
your uid changes, but it's not treated as a login shell, so you don't
get the full PATH variables sourced. If you use 'su -' then it
becomes a root login shell, and you get the extra goodies associated
with the root account. use 'man su' to get all the details if you're
curious.
I tried that several times but evidentially I was doing something wrong.
Now that I know what the '-' is for I tried it again it worked. Thanks.
