What does this command output say for you? It lists the commands you can run. Don't report anything to the list that reveals anything sensitive about your site. Just read it yourself and make sure the output makes sense. sudo -l Probably running 'sudo bash' or equivalent is easier than stacking su commands. One advantage of sudo is that commands are run in your environment and so your command line editing options are all the same as you expect. Running 'su -' forces you to load the /root environment which means those things are frequently different. That is much less friendly. Bob
