I have two systems running Redhat. One is using 7.3 and the other 8.0. On the 7.3 system when I as root do su gerry I end up with a prompt as user gerry. However, when I do the same thing on the 8.0 system I get the following su gerry /bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied but I still end up with a prompt as user gerry. I assume the correct behaviour is the 7.3 system version. Does anyone know why the bash error appears? I tried using su - gerry and it works without errors. I can't see anything obvious with permissions on the /root/.bashrc file. On both systems the file is owned by root.root with permissions of 644. I'm not sure where else to look? -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
