RE: console as root-user

Hello,

A simple addition of "-" to "su" will do the trick
$ su -
which essentially will make the shell a login shell

For more information
$ man su

Subject: console as root-user

Hi,

As you may have noticed, when you start a console as non-root user and 
then you switch to root with "su" command, you are still unable to 
execute a lot of commands, as "ntsysv" or "iptables" i think could 
because of selinux, but anyway in the computer i have i start a Konsole 
(KDE) as root and problem solved.

I have another PC only with Gnome, how do i start a console as root 
directly without switching users?

i had to use this "trick"
ssh -l root 127.0.0.1 to have access to all the commands.

help me please.

greetings,

Guillermo Garron
