but su - will change the user to root.
any other way ?
I don't want to change the user to root and work,
want to stay with the same user, but having my PATH apply while I am
using sudo
sudo man page says we can user -s to use SHELL environment, so I can
alias sudo to sudo -s
but still I should set this alias on all of our servers that I am going
to login.
The *-s* (/shell/) option runs the shell specified by the /SHELL/
environment variable if it is set or the shell as specified in /passwd/.
thanks

Quite a while ago I was taught to give the full path to su. This
instruction was given with a warning that it's more secure in case a
malicious user was able to get a command named 'su' into your path
ahead of the binary you're intending to execute.
I use:
sudo /bin/su -
Although, presumably under this logic, someone could have snuck
another binary in named 'sudo', too. To take my own medicine, I
should be doing:
/usr/bin/sudo /bin/su -
Putting my $0.02 in where it wasn't necessarily asked for,

use this command to get that (instead of just sudo):
sudo su -
