That's easy to fix, though. People also like to run in a familiar environment. If you have root and your account set up differently, this makes it easier to make mistakes. If there are several people who have root access, su - only gives you one environment when there is demand for more than one environment. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
