Hi all, Usually I work in X environment (XCFE) with extensive use of x terminal; concretely, I use Gnome-terminal. Sometimes I change to root to do some admin tasks. But often it seems a few commands are not availables. The key is in the $PATH value: echo $PATH (in login shell, interactive ): /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin echo $PATH (in gnome-terminal, no-login interactive shell): /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/jordi/bin The last path in $PATH variable shows me that the problem would be the gnome-terminal doesn't update correclty the $PATH when I change to root through "su" command. ¿What do you think about? TIA.
