I just want a set of aliases loaded for su. /root/.bash_profile isn’t loading, and there isn’t any obvious choice as to where the loaded .bash* were loading from. .bash_profile will not be read when you just run "su", because .bash_profile is read in a login shell, and "su" does not create a login shell. .bashrc will be read (and is really where aliases belong anyway), or you can "su -" to create a login shell. -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>
