Hi, I met a strange behavior of su command with "-". I login my host as root and want to run some command with normal user, say joe. Here is what I see: [root@stone]# su - joe -c ls [joe@stone]$ <===== Instead of list the files under this directory, the shell login the account joe [joe@stone]$ exit Desktop Music <===== When I type exit in the subshell, it prints the output of "ls" command and then return to root [root@stone]# If not speficying "-", everything works fine: [root@stone]# su joe -c ls Desktop Music [root@stone]# Any ideas? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance, Joe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-config" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
