>just type su instead of su -
While leaving off thge "-" option will indeed leave you in the same place,
it will also not get you 100% root environment. You still have some of the
original user's environment, hence the not cding to root's home.
I prefer to use "su -", but do a "pwd" before doing so, if I need to get to
the same location. I just do a "cd" with a cut-n-paste of the location.
Simple, plus I get the complete environment.
