su upgrade behaviour

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I upgraded to RH 9 from 7.3.  I thought that all was working properly but
I just ran into a strange one with su.

I'm sure that I was able as root to just do a 

su gerry

and I would become user "gerry".  However, when I try that now I become 
user "gerry" but the following error message is printed out...

/bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied

I can eliminate the error message by just doing a 

su - gerry

Also, as "gerry" I can su to root or another user without error (just 
asked for the correct password).  It's only when I try to su as root to 
another user without the "-" that causes the error.

Anyone know why this has started to happen?
