That is why I indicated that "sudo su" would only be required with a mis-configured sudo installation. (If policy allows you to run "su" [or any shell] directly, then the "-s" and "-i" options should be allowed, as well.) Nitpick: (sudo su) is roughly equivalent to (sudo -s); (sudo -i) is roughly equivalent to (sudo su -). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
