su vs. su -
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
When I am logged in as telmerco and "su" to root in another rxvt, I can
run emacs in either the foreground or the background (ie. "emacs" or
"emacs &"). However, when I use "su -" rather than "su" I can only run
emacs in the foreground. What can I do to get it to run in the background
as well? I don't know what extra information I should supply except that
as telmerco I set xhost +terrapin so that root can display on a X server
owned by telmerco. Cheers, Colin.
