Also 'odd' things can happen if '.' and strange places

as root via "su -", as root via "sudo" or as yourself.

Mitch you DID IT !! su - instead of su
Glad to hear it..
OK gang out there.
What portable tricks out there might be included in a script
to test for a user that typed "su" when "su -" is
required. An initial version would simply present
a hint but not exit.
Simply "echo $USER". If it comes back as "root", then they did "su -".
If it comes back as something other than root, they just did "su".
