Explanation: "su" by itself gives you the UID and GID of root. "su -" (with the dash) gives you the UID and GID of root AND root's environment (environment variables, path, etc.). Essentially the dash says "do a full login of me as root". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - We are born naked, wet and hungry.
